The social deputy of the Blood Transfusion Organization stated that with the onset of cold weather and an increase in respiratory illnesses such as influenza and colds, the number of people coming to donate blood decreases. He added that the need for blood and blood products for patients is constant, and some provinces, including Sistan and Baluchestan, have a greater need for blood due to the prevalence of thalassemia and traffic accidents.
