PMGH appeal for blood donations

In a public appeal poster Port Moresby General Hospital appealed for urgent blood donation from the public because the hospital has low blood supply.

The appeal said the blood donation would help women with complications of pregnancy such as ectopic pregnancies, and hemorrhage before, during or after childbirth.

It will also help children with severe anemia often resulting from malaria or malnutrition, people with trauma following man-made and natural disasters, and many complex surgical and medical procedures and cancer patients.
