Despite many regular blood donors being down with the ‘flu, 35 people attended the monthly blood donor clinic hosted by the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) last Thursday.

The doors of the Estcourt Town Library Projection Room opened at 11am and eager locals walked in to help save lives. 34 locals bled a unit of blood with the assistance of the SANBS nursing team.

“Due to the change of venue this month, our numbers are low. The Estcourt Town Hall was used to count votes following the elections. As of next month, things will be back to normal.

Thanks to all our dedicated blood donors who shared a pint,” told blood donor clinic co-ordinator Mr SM Dawoonarain.

The next monthly blood donor clinic will be held on June 13 at the Estcourt Town Hall from 11am to 6pm. Save the date and tag along a friend or family member to save more lives.
