NZ Blood Service weekly collections disrupted by bad weather
In
spite of bad weather disrupting operations in the south, the
New Zealand Blood Service still needs to meet its normal
target of 3,000 units nationally for the week.
The
Christchurch and Dunedin Donor Centres were closed today,
and the Westport and Mosgiel mobile collections were also
cancelled.
The Nelson Donor Centre will be open on
Tuesday and Wednesday in order to make up for these
collections being lost.
While urgent donations are not
needed, the service is calling on donors in Nelson and the
North Island who are eligible to come in this week to donate
to ensure supplies remain sufficient.
Donors who wish
to make an appointment are asked to please call 0800 448
325.
