PH Red Cross supplies blood to dengue-hit provinces

SEN. Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), ordered the delivery of blood units to dengue-stricken provinces to augment the supply of the PRC chapters in the concerned areas.

“With the DOH (Department of Health) declaring a National Dengue Alert due to the rapidly increasing number of dengue cases observed in several regions in the country, we anticipate an increase in the demand for blood. The PRC renews its commitment to provide safe and quality blood, especially in the dengue-hit areas. We have already arranged for the shipment of blood in some provinces. We will do the same for other provinces,” Gordon said.
