SANBS experiencing blood supply shortages | News Article

The festive season is upon us and reports of accidents are on the rise.


The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is struggling to supply enough blood for these emergencies. 

Though it has increased its target of blood units, the number of donors is stagnant.

The current blood stock levels are at three days.

Every unit of blood can save up to three lives.
