Blood donations are needed in Saskatchewan.
Well over 700 appointments need to be filled before January 7th.
Canadian Blood Services spokesman Aaron Barlow says O negative blood is greatly needed, in emergency situations, it’s often transfused into patients as that type is universal.
Currently there’s less than three days inventory of O negative blood.
Barlow adds the need for blood is constant and that the need for blood doesn’t take a holiday.
