A London hospital is asking its own clinical workers for blood as it faces supply disruptions after a cyberattack last week paralyzed operations.
King’s College Hospital is calling on staff with the blood type O to schedule donations, according to an internal memo sent to staff and reviewed by Bloomberg News. The hospital declined to comment. National Health Service, the publicly funded health care system in England, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
