Kronoberg region has a lack of blood groups and A Rh− and 0 Rh−.

- If you have these blood groups, we are very grateful if you contact us. The blood supply here at the hospital is a fresh product and it can change day by day, says Jimmy Holmberg, Head of Transfusion Medicine at the hospital in Växjö.

"In Kalmar we have good access to all blood groups right now," says Kim Hägerström, who is a blood center coordinator in the Kalmar Region. And we had a good time during the big weekends as well. Then everything can happen quickly and the situation changes, but right now it is good.

More people want to donate blood

In the Kalmar Region, there has been an increased influx of blood donors in recent months.

- In November last year, all blood donation centers were linked to the Care Guide 1177. And since then we have noticed that more people are coming to us, says Kim Hägerström. We get four to five new blood donors every day.
