Blood stocks critically low
Lentswe, Klerksdorp - The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) needs blood donations as blood stock levels decrease, posing a severe risk to patients in need. “Since the implementation of the new digital donor questionnaire, aimed at streamlining the donor registration process, which took place on November 7, SANBS has seen a steady decline in blood donations, with blood stocks currently sitting at only 1,8 days’ supply, pushing the available blood to critically low levels across the country.
This blood shortage may affect the lives of numerous individuals reliant on blood transfusions. The technical issues experienced with the implementation have since been resolved, and donors can look forward to an enhanced donor experience,” said Thandi Mosupye, SANBS Senior Manager for Marketing, Communication, and Brand.
