Participate in the blood drive at SANBS i’langa Mall

Be part of an amazing group of people that, without praise or compensation, give so much by donating blood.

Every day SANBS requires over 3 300 donations to meet its patients’ demand across the country.

The blood service has implemented measures to ensure the continued safety of blood donors at the donor sites. These include:

• Screening all persons at donation clinic entrances.
• Donors exhibiting flu-like symptoms or symptoms of infections are advised to delay donation until they are well.
• SANBS staff are screened daily and staff with flu-like symptoms or symptoms of infection do not work in clinics until they are well.

• Heightened infection control measures have been put in place at all donation sites through provision of alcohol hand-rub solutions at each clinic entrance. In addition, surfaces and equipment are disinfected before the clinic starts, following each donation event and at the end of the day.
• All staff wear appropriate personal protective equipment while on duty.

Please remember that the public is required to wear a mask when visiting one of the donation sites. Visit the i’langa Mall Donor Centre on the corner of Bitterbessie and Flamboyant streets.

The donations site’s operational hours are Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00, and on Sundays, from 09:00 to 15:00.
