The Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) are appealing to all eligible donors to donate blood, particularly the B-plus and O-minus blood groups.
According to Marike Carli, Public Relations Manager at
WCBS, there is only a 1-day supply left for the B+ blood group, and a 2-day
supply left for the O- blood group. O- can be transfused to all blood groups.

days for each blood group.
‘’Your blood donation is needed now! To find a closest
blood donation clinic, visit the WCBS app or wcbs.org.za. Do something
remarkable, donate blood.’’
If you are between the ages of 16 and 75, weigh 50kg or
more, are healthy on the day of donation, lead a safe sexual lifestyle and
would like to save three lives in just 30 minutes, you should be able to
donate.
