11 June – Health

Today we spoke to Lynn Erasmus – Public Relations Officer from the Western Cape Blood Transfusion Services. June is Blood Donor Month - the Western Province Blood Transfusion Service has issued a call to all Capetonians to help alleviate pressure on the province's blood supply by attending donation clinics. According to the organisation the current cold spell and an increasing number of regular donors suffering from colds and flu have impacted negatively on the Service's O blood group stocks, which currently stand on a four day supply. The Western Province Blood Transfusion Service will be hosting a number of donation clinics on Thursday, 14th of June 2007 (World Blood Donor Day) to encourage new donors and to thank those who help them make a difference. This year’s theme is Safe Blood for Safe Motherhood. For more information or if you want to donate contact their offices at (021) 507 6300 or visit www.blood.org.za

We also spoke to Professor Neil Myburgh – Deputy Dean Postgraduate and Research from the Western Cape Dentistry Faculty. We were talking about Oral Health. Professor Myburgh explained exactly what oral health means and some of the common problems associated with oral health. For more information visit your nearest dentist.
