The Croatian Blood Donors Association has announced that the blood supply has dropped significantly, especially blood group A+, urging everyone to don.
Croatia’s health minister Vili Beroš commented on the situation with patients after Tuesday’s earthquake in front of the Dubrava Hospital in Zagreb, where some of the patients from earthquake affected areas arrived, N1 reported.
A record amount of blood was donated asa large number of people answered the call, queuing up for hours at Petrova hospital.
“This morning I received information from the Croatian Institute for Transfusion Medicine, that yesterday a record amount was collected at Zagreb’s Petrova, over 750 doses. The last date with a similar turnout was August 5, 1995, the beginning of Operation Storm. This shows the consciousness of the Croatian people,”said Minister Vili Beroš, adding.
