Malakal Teaching Hospital in Upper Nile is calling on citizens to donate blood much needed in maternity and operation wards.
Maternity Ward Medical Officer Mark Abraham said many women die during delivery in the hospital unnecessarily due to lack of a blood bank in the hospital.
He added that bleeding was the main cause of delivering women deaths in the hospital.
Dr Abraham said some of the women also suffered from anaemia which also kills.
He urged pregnant women to eat nutritious food and take doctors’ advice seriously.
