SINGAPORE : Singapore's blood banks are drying up, sparking an urgent appeal for donations.
Blood stocks have fallen so low that elective surgeries are being postponed.
The prolonged rain and festive celebrations have resulted in fewer blood donors coming forward in the past few weeks.
The Singapore Red Cross, together with the Bloodbank at Health Sciences Authority (HSA), are now making an urgent appeal for blood donors to come forward to ensure there is enough blood supplies for transfusion needs.
Any healthy individuals, aged between 18 and 60 and weighing above 45 kilogrammes, can head down to the bloodbank at HSA, located at 11 Outram Road, to make a blood donation.
The public can call 6220-0183 for more enquiries.
