The federal government has announced plans to establish Blood Collection Centres in all 774 local government areas, including the FCT, to ensure the availability of blood during medical emergencies and transfusions.
Abdullahi Haruna, the head of Media and Publicity at the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA), made this known in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
The statement quoted Saleh Yuguda, the director-general of NBSA, as reiterating the government’s commitment to addressing blood shortages in the country, as the initiative would save lives.
