Opportunity to give blood in Mullingar this December
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) provides the blood and blood products needed in hospitals to help these patients.
Blood transfusions may be required for routine surgical procedures and cancer treatment. The average adult has between 10 and 12 pints of blood. A blood donation is just 470mls – less than one pint.
Finbar Gethins, area organiser is urging people who are between 18 and 60 years (or 67 years if you are a regular donor), over 7st 12 lbs (over 50kg), fit and healthy and have not donated in the last 90 days to make a special effort to attend. Please eat at least a light snack in the 3 hours before donating. Please remember that the Midlands Regional Hospital in Mullingar required 1,430 units in 2018.
Some day this could be you or a family member. Every day, patients in hospitals throughout Ireland require blood transfusions. Each and every week 3,000 donations are needed in Ireland.
