The MP for Galolhu North Constituency, Mohamed Ibrahim, says people are still struggling to find blood and that the crisis remains unresolved.
In a social media post, the MP said that even today, some people are searching for donors of A-negative blood, and one of the pillars of development is to put in place systems that ends peoples' struggles.
Noting that an easy system for obtaining blood has not yet been established, the MP said that practical assistance has been offered several times.
He went on to share a letter he had sent to the Speaker of the Parliament back in June 2025.
The letter noted that he had met on February 24, 2025, with the Maldivian Blood Services, which monitors blood services, and the National Blood Council, which was formed to formulate blood service policies and advise the minister.
He said that they assured him that the difficulties encountered in obtaining blood would be resolved by June of that year, but the responsibility assigned to them has not been fulfilled to date.
It should be noted that A and B-negative blood is usually difficult to find. Blood donation programs are conducted from time to time. Blood can be donated to people who are 18 years of age, weigh 45 kg, and have a hemoglobin count of 12.5 or above.
