Blood donation

I couldn't find the link on the Jordan Times website to provide you all with, but there was a small article in Friday's newspaper asking for people to come to hospitals and donate blood. They are especially looking for anyone with type O blood (any kind). I can't recall what the nurse had said about blood donation here, but it's worth checking into since we all have the day off tomorrow for King Hussein's birthday.


A Jordanian Blogger has some more details about the need for blood:


"AMMAN (JT) — The Amman blood banks have appealed for donors to come forward with type O+ and O- blood. Donors with these blood groups should go to the Blood Bank in Al Bashir Hospital.

Blood Bank officials have urged those wishing to give blood to space their donations over the coming weeks and months.
For more information please call: 475 7459 or 477 5111."
