Donate blood this November

In demand... The South African National Blood Service is asking residents to donate blood.

November is proving to be a testing month as the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is experiencing a critical shortage of blood because of the lack of blood drives it can hold at schools and universities.

The SANBS revealed there was a critical shortage of blood across the country, with blood stocks at just 1.5 days of group O stock, equating to 1 473 units.

When: The SANBS appeals to South Africans to donate blood immediately.

Where: To find out more about donating blood and to locate your nearest SANBS donor centre, visit sanbs.org.za or call 0800 11 90 31.
