Stocks of blood are at a critically low level and the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service appealed today for blood donors to help immediately replenish the supply. Hong Kong has entered the winter influenza season and there has been an increase in demand for blood transfusions, the Hospital Authority said. As a token of thanks, all those providing successful blood donations today and tomorrow will receive a red packet pouch set. A CNY goodies bag will be given to every donor who gives blood during January 26 to 28 while stocks last.
