Héma-Québec, a non-profit organization that supplies blood to patients in need, has issued an urgent appeal to first-time and past donors within Quebec.
According to a Wednesday press release from the organization, the current blood supply is alarmingly low. “In the coming weeks, Héma-Québec needs to collect 500 more blood donations every week to meet the needs of hospitals.”

While all blood types are needed, Héma-Québec says O negative, A positive, and A negative are in the highest demand. The arrival of the seventh wave of COVID-19 this summer, they say, has made the situation more dire.
