The Western Cape Blood Service is calling for donors this winter.
This winter, the Western Cape Blood Service urgently calls for your help as your blood donation can save lives and support your community during this critical time.
With seasonal illnesses like colds and flu, alongside inclement weather naturally reducing donor turnout, the province’s blood stocks are facing significant pressure, said the WCBS in a statement.
O-positive and O-negative blood reserves have consistently dipped below the service’s vital five-day supply target.
This supply is essential for treating trauma patients, those undergoing surgery, mothers experiencing childbirth complications, and cancer patients - individuals who rely on a steady, life-saving supply every single day.
