Donate blood today
Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - SANBS is appealing to O+ donors to donate as blood stock levels are critical. SANBS has blood in storage for 2.5 days.

It is classified as significantly low when it reaches 3.5 days and critical at 3 days.
According to the SABS website, less than 1% of South Africans are active blood donors. A unit of blood only lasts 42 days after donation and, for this reason, it is important for blood donors to donate regularly. Donors can give blood as often as every eight weeks.
