Thai Red Cross low on blood supplies
Chiang Mai Mail reporters
The Thai Red Cross launched a nationwide appeal for blood donations as supplies have reached critically low levels. Hospitals have been forced to postpone surgeries due to a lack of supply and the Thai Red Cross has only been able to supply 2000 units of blood daily, far below the basic minimum of 3,000 units.
Blood donors in Chiang Mai can donate at the Thai Red Cross branch at 369-371 Wichayanon Road, A Muang, Chiang Mai 50300. Tel: 053 235161, 053 235574. Donations can also be made at Sriphat Medical Center next to Chiang Mai Maha Nakorn Hospital or any provincial hospital.
