COUNCILLOR Colly Kelly is urging the people of Derry to come out and support blood donor sessions in the city next month.
He said: “Blood donation is very important for the proper delivery of health care.
“Each year thousands of patients require blood transfusions in our hospitals, because they are undergoing surgery, recovering from cancer or have been in a serious accident.
“There is a lot of pressure placed on the Blood Transfusion service particularly over the summer with people being away on holidays.
“They have said that the need for blood is constant, with hundreds of patients in the north needing transfusions each
“I would urge anyone who can, to go along to the blood donation session at the Guildhall in Derry on the following dates:
