Marlize Mouton - Spokesperson for the Western Province Blood Transfusion
Services joined us on the live. We were talking about their increasing need for blood ahead of the
festive season. It appears that the stock of blood held by the Western Province
Blood Transfusion Services (WPBTS) is down to a three day supply instead of the
ideal five to seven day supply, according to media reports. WPBTS is calling
for more donors, particularly those with the ‘universal’ O-blood group that can
be given to any patient. For further information you can contact WPBTS on (021)
507 6300 or visit
www.wpblood.org.za alternatively sms BLOOD to
33507.
