Western
Cape Blood Services searching for new donors to donate blood to bring the level
back to five days.
The reason
why there is a blood shortage, because regular donors suffer from flu and colds
which is deterring donors from donating. Corporate Public Relations Officer of
WCBS, Michelle Vermeulen says The aim
for Western Cape Blood Service is to maintain a blood stock level of five days
at all times to ensure they meet the demands of Western Cape.
Group O
stocks are low and therefore the WCBS is appealing to everyone in the Western
Cape with group o blood type to donate at a blood donation clinic near you. If you
are older than 16 and younger than 75,
weigh more than 50kg, healthy on the day of donation and you lead a safe sexual
lifestyle you should be able to donate blood.
To find out
where you can donate visit www.wbca.org.za,
call 021 207 6300 or sms ‘Blood’ to 33507
