BONUS - RUSTENBURG - The saying of "Your blood saves lives" is synonymous with the South African National Blood Services (SANBS), however, not many people realise just how important it is to donate blood until a loved one (or they themselves) are lying in a hospital bed with an urgent need for a blood transfusion.
In fact, one donor can save three lives, as donated blood is separated into different components, when being readied for use. To claim that blood stocks are low, is a complete understatement.
There is always a need for blood and one donation visit will only take up approximately 30 minutes of your time.
Please donate urgently - it's never too late to start! Blood donation requirements:
* Age: 16 to 75
* Weight: 50kg or above
* Good general health or no recent illness
* Leading a safe lifestyle
* A commitment to donate regularly
* Eat a meal or snack before donating. Lifestyle Donor Centre (1st Floor, Lifestyle Square)
