Members of Parliament (MPs) were responding to a call from the Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa, urging them to donate blood. “The blood bank has been out in the media calling upon people to donate blood. He called on the Clerk to Parliament to organise a blood donation week in Parliament, to enable MPs to participate. Opendi added that without the necessary equipment to preserve and store the blood, blood donation drives would not yield much. “There is nowhere to keep blood, much as we try to mobilise the blood donation, storage is a challenge,” she said.
