The Health Ministry together with the Blood Bank at CWM hospital has called on the members of the public to assist in donating blood for the patients.

Spokesperson Iliesa Tora said although there is enough blood in the Blood bank at the major hospitals in Labasa, Lautoka and Suva, there is still a need out there for more blood.
