Partner with the SANBS to give health and hope to South Africa

As the country continues to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, the need for blood products is rapidly starting to increase.

The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) remains committed to keeping its promise to save lives.

Despite the extraordinary response from regular donors, who have responded to calls for support, the organisation continues to experience shortages owing to the scarcity of mobile blood drive venues.

Covid-19 restrictions have severely limited the ability of the SANBS to collect adequate blood stocks, particularly because the entity cannot access schools, colleges and corporates for blood drives.

“At the SANBS, we are doing our utmost to continue to maintain adequate blood stock levels to service the needs of our country. The high demand for blood requires that we work even harder together to ensure that no lives are lost due to blood shortages,” said Ravi Reddy, COO for SANBS.

“Booking group donations and hosting mobile blood drive events is another meaningful way to engage your network to save lives,” Reddy added.

“Every donation makes a difference.

“While some South Africans may not be able to donate, they can assist us in collecting much-needed blood.

“The SANBS has continually maintained and implemented safety and wellness measures at our donor centres and mobile blood drives across the country, for the protection of our staff and donors alike.

“In years past, our partners and community-minded supporters have kept us going. Through setting and meeting collection goals together we have been able to meet the constant demand for blood.”
