Donate blood at Tambotie this weekend
The SANBS will be at Tambotie Mall on Saturday and Sunday from 10am until 3pm for residents who would like to come and donate blood to help those in need.
The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) wishes to thank all blood donors for their support during 2019.
Blood stock levels were ample throughout the year and well over a million blood products were issued to patients requiring blood transfusions.
According to Lebo Seatlholo, Public Relations Practitioner at the SANBS, during the last week blood stocks have, for the first time in many months, dropped below the ideal level of five days cover due to the holiday period and associated decrease in blood donations. 3 500 donations are required daily to meet the demand of patients.
“The SANBS encourages the public and current blood donors to find time this new year to donate blood and help us ensure another year of sufficient blood products so that every patient requiring a life-saving blood transfusion receives it when needed.”
Each blood donation can save up to three lives and the SANBS can only do this with the help of regular and committed blood donors.
Bring your friends and family and commit to starting the year on a good note by offering someone in need an opportunity to do the same with their loved ones.
