There’s nothing we can do when hurricanes affect our countries but let’s not allow storms to claim lives because of insufficient blood supply at hospitals. The world faces threat of blood shortage because less people are donating blood but the demand for it never ends. Wherever we are in the world, we are encouraging you to give blood to the nearest blood donation centers in your place. Tropical storms are seasonal, but the need for blood is not. We need blood supplies every second of every day. Let’s give blood before it’s too late.
