2021/01/16 15:35 (Pixabay photo) (Pixabay photo) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) Blood supplies are running critically low across Taiwan, with blood banks reporting an average of fewer than five days of stock, according to the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation (血液基金會). The shortages are most severe in Hsinchu and Kaohsiung, which were down to a 3.9-day supply as of Saturday morning (Jan. 16). Meanwhile, Taipei, Taichung, and Tainan have each seen their supply drop to 4.1, 4.8, and 4.9 days, respectively. There are only sufficient stocks of types A, AB, and O blood for the next three days in Taipei and Taichung, while reserves of types A, B, and O in Kaohsiung are expected to last only four days. Stocks of AB and O have dropped to 3.3 and 3.7 days, respectively, in Taichung.
A man donating blood in Taichung yesterday holds a sign that reads: “I’m the most hot-blooded.” The Taiwan Blood Services Foundation warned yesterday that Taiwan’s current blood stocks are expected to run out in about four days, and that blood types AB, O and A, would not even last that long.
