Party opens hot line for blood donors

YOGYAKARTA: The Yogyakarta chapter of the Prosperous Justice
Party (PKS) opened a 24-hour hot line on Feb. 25 for blood
donors.

The hot line was opened in order to help collect blood for
victims of the dengue fever outbreak.

"Families can contact us directly and provide a letter
verifying that a family member is suffering from dengue fever.
With the help of the people and party supporters, we will then
help find blood donors for free," PKS Yogyakarta chairman Agus
Purnomo said.

The hot line will be open at all PKS offices in the city and
surrounding regencies, he said.

"We also call on the regional government to improve health
services to end this epidemic, because most of the victims are
the 'little people,'" Agus said. -- JP
