Call for Gippslanders to help by donating blood or plasma made by Darren Chester
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is encouraging Gippslanders to roll up their sleeves and donate blood or plasma.
Mr Chester said that 1.6 million Australians had given blood in the last year, but more donors were needed. "Throughout my life I have been fortunate enough to not need a blood transfusion, but I know many people who have and will need to in the future," Mr Chester said.
