Short supply of blood in KZN: Please donate ASAP
Donors can give blood as often as every 8 weeks
The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is urging the community to please donate blood, as they are in a crisis. They are in short supply in KZN.
A unit of blood only lasts 42 days after donation and, for this reason, it is important for blood donors to donate regularly. Donors can give blood as often as every eight weeks.

Every unit of blood can save a minimum of three lives, as blood is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets.
