Blood Stock in Bali for Lebaran Holiday




Denpasar, Bali - Indonesia (News Today) - The Bali branch of the Indonesian Red Cross (MPI) blood transfusion unit has sufficient blood stock for the Lebaran holidays demand.

"We have sufficient blood stock for the Lebaran holiday because we have made an anticipation by intensifying blood donation from non-Muslims," local PMI spokesperson Made Geria Arnita said here on Sunday.

She said that in addition, the local PMI transfusion unit continued to open its blood donation service 24 hours for volunteers who would like to donate their blood. According to Arnita, the blood stock as of Sunday reached 60 pouches of type-A blood, 10 pouches of type-B blood, 15 pouches of type-O blood, and 10 pouches of type-AB blood.

"The amount of blood stock we have at the moment is enough for the Lebaran holidays, because we have also limited our medical treatments, including operations except if it is very urgent," Arnita said.

She added that the average blood consumption at Sanglah public hospital and private hospitals in Denpasar ranged from 80 to 100 pouches per day, and 80 percent of which was met from voluntary blood donors. According to her, there were 300 units of the Indonesian Blood Donors Association (PDDI) in Denpasar and Badung district at present.
