A call for urgent assistance has been issued on behalf of a Tongan student currently admitted to the Colonial War Memorial (CWM) Hospital in Suva, Fiji, who is in need of blood.
The appeal is directed particularly to individuals with blood group A or O, who are being encouraged to come forward and help meet this critical need.
A statement published by Tongan students at USP over the weekend said that those willing to assist are encouraged to contact 7618020 for further information and coordination.
However, potential donors were later advised that the CWM Hospital blood bank is currently closed and will reopen on Monday morning.
Donors are therefore encouraged to visit the facility once it reopens to make their contributions.
Members of the Tongan community, as well as the wider public in Fiji, are being urged to respond to the appeal and show support during this time of need.
No details about the patient or their illness were provided.
