Blood Center in Guangzhou Calls for More Donors

Guangzhou's blood bank center had called for more donors to replenish supplies, the Information Times reported Monday.
   
The period following the Spring Festival was a slack season for blood donations, the center said.
   
Only about 2,500 people donated blood immediately after the Spring Festival, while more than 3,200 people gave blood during the seven-day holiday, the center said.
   
The cold weather and drizzle in recent days had kept people inside, it said.
   
A Guangzhou man surnamed Li found he was unable to obtain a regular blood transfusion of 200 millimeters of Type O blood in a Guangzhou hospital to treat his chronic uremia. The hospital told him there was only enough blood for emergencies.
   
The blood center said Li's only solution was to find a family member or a friend to volunteer. As allowed by related rules, a donor could designate a beneficiary of the donation and the transfusion would be free, the center said.
