MDA to Open Extra Blood Donation Centers

Reported: 11:07 AM - Apr/05/07

(IsraelNN.com) Due to a blood shortage, Magen David Adom is planning to open extra blood donation centers in certain areas. The centers will be open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Beer Sheva.

One reason for the shortage is the large number of transplant surgeries being performed over Pesach (Passover). Six transplant surgeries have been done within two days in Petach Tikva. The number of blood donations is also down due to the holiday, when many Israelis travel.
