“We still do not have data for individual donations, but we estimate it is some 1,200 doses of blood. Our patients are treated at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo. We have the exact number of donated blood for KCUS only for organizations from Visoko and Olovo that donated 225 and 282 doses. We do not have data for Vares, Breza and Kakanj,” Cato said to Federal News Agency.
