(Health Times reporter Zhao Mengmeng) "At present, the O-type red blood cell inventory is in an orange warning state, which can only be maintained for 3-5 days!" The Health Times reporter learned from the WeChat public account of the Nanning Central Blood Station.
"Because of the small number of people who donate blood during the Spring Festival, coupled with the superimposed impact of multiple factors such as repeated epidemics, the amount of blood collected in our city has dropped significantly, the gap in blood stocks is very large, and the current O-type erythrocyte inventory is in an orange warning state, which can only be maintained for 3-5 days." The relevant staff of the Nanning Central Blood Station said that at present, the hospital still needs a large number of patients with type O blood in clinical emergencies.

At present, the staff of the blood bank has taken the initiative to join the blood donation team to actively replenish the blood inventory. The Nanning Blood Donation Office also issued the "Proposal for Unpaid Blood Donation to Nanning Citizens" on the 7th, calling on the general public to actively participate in unpaid blood donation under the condition of physical health and conditions, and to convey the warmth of love with hot blood. From now to the 16th, caring citizens who have successfully donated blood at various blood donation points in Nanning can also receive a bouquet of flowers and a neck pillow set in addition to regular souvenirs.
The proposal also mentions that during the epidemic period, the Blood Donation Office and all blood donation points in the city will strictly implement epidemic prevention, increase the cleaning and disinfection density of blood donation sites, and do a detailed job of blood donation site protection to ensure the safety of blood donors.
