Mississippi Blood Services issues emergency appeal due to critical shortage
SUMMARY: Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) has issued an urgent call for blood donations due to a critical shortage, particularly of Type O Negative blood, which is crucial for treating trauma patients. The blood supply is at dangerously low levels, with less than a one-day supply available for Type O Negative. MBS aims for a minimum three-day supply to handle all patient needs and emergencies. Donations from all blood types are needed, and individuals are encouraged to donate at community blood drives in Flowood, Cleveland, and Oxford Center. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 601-368-2673 or visiting msblood.com.
