Do something remarkable, donate blood
The Western Cape’s blood supply has reached a critical level.
“We are appealing to the public to do something remarkable and support the cause of blood donation. It takes only 20 to 30 minutes of your time, yet, with a single donation you will make an impact on the lives of at least three patients in dire need of blood,” says Arlecia November, promotions officer of the Western Province Blood Transfusion Service.
The basic criteria requires a donor to be between the ages of 16 and 65, weigh more than 50 kg, be in good general health and lead a sexually safe lifestyle.
If you want to organise a blood donation at your workplace, call Arlecia on 044 874 2074.
