SANBS needs you to bleed during November
According to SANBS, as the year draws nearer its end, the need for blood becomes more dire.
When last did you donate blood? This is the question the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is asking residents in Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
As the year draws nearer its end, the need for blood becomes more dire. In an attempt to encourage more donors to support the SANBS, the organisation will host a special promotion for the month of November.
“To help increase our blood collections during this time, every kind soul who donates blood will receive a limited edition ‘self-stirring’ mug. It is a perfect travelling accessory. Just press a button to mix the contents; no spoon required.”
SANBS will be present at various locations around Endumeni in November, so there’s no excuse for not donating blood.
To be a safe and regular blood donor, you must:
– Weigh 50 kilograms or more
– Be between the ages of 16 and 65
– Lead a sexually safe lifestyle
– Be in good health on the day of your donation (ensure you’ve eaten a meal prior to donating as well)
