Summary
South Sudan is facing a severe blood shortage, with hospitals struggling to meet the growing demand for transfusions, health authorities say. Director of the National Blood Transfusion Service, Dr Angelo Aruop, says blood collection remains far below required levels, leaving a significant gap and placing pressure on health facilities. On World Blood Donor Day, the World Health Organization is urging more people to donate, stressing that every donation can save lives. Officials say voluntary blood donation is essential to support emergency treatment, surgeries, and other life-saving care.
