The amount of blood type O available at the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion on Wednesday dropped to 2,934 units, from 3,500 units, after blood was distributed to hospitals in Hà Nội and the northern provinces on Monday.

Blood type O makes up 32.7 per cent of the total available blood, while according to the institute, it must account for at least 45 per cent of the total blood to meet the demand for blood transfusions.
