Kota Kinabalu: The blood supply in all hospitals in Sabah is at a critical level and existing stock may only last two weeks, Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said.

 “On average, if we make a comparison between blood donations from the public and our blood storage, this supply can only last about two weeks.

“This situation is very worrying although our current efforts are heavily focused on dealing with Covid-19 transmission, but we also have other patients who need blood supply.
