Critical Situation Regarding Blood Donation in Cyprus
September 24, 2026
Cyprus needs 350 blood units daily, but currently collects only between 150 and 250. This situation risks postponing scheduled surgeries, affecting patients who require transfusions, especially those with thalassemia. Medical professionals are warning about the urgent need to increase blood donations. It is crucial to implement measures to ensure the safety of all patients who need blood. Ensuring adequate blood supplies is essential for the smooth functioning of healthcare services.
