Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) seeks 2,000 blood donations in 4 weeks due to low supply.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) is urgently seeking 2,000 blood donations over the next 4 weeks, as some blood groups are at less than 3 days' supply. Aiming for a 7-day supply, the IBTS encourages new donors, especially of African heritage, to join the national blood donor panel. High sickness levels, summer holidays, and reduced new donor attendance have impacted blood supply.
