The WP Blood Transfusion Service would like to announce that there will now be a clinic every month during 2010. This is to afford the regular donors the opportunity to still donate blood if they missed a scheduled clinic.
Please pay attention to any cell phone text messages that you may receive from us - we will notify you should there be any changes to the scheduled times or days!

To any prospective donors, please note that you must weigh at least 50kg, follow a healthy lifestyle and must be between the age of 17 - 65. Please ensure that you have had plenty of fluids and that you have eaten well on the day of the clinic.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who report so regularly at every clinic to donate your pint of blood. Let's see if, this year, we can achieve our goal of 50 pints per clinic?!

The Western Province Blood Transfusion Service is a non-profit, independent organisation that works without prejudice to render safe blood and blood products to all communities in the Western Cape.

Blood and blood products are used to treat people who have cancer or leukaemia, suffered serious trauma or injury in motor vehicle accidents, must undergo surgery, or babies born prematurely.

The Service strives to excel in the science of blood transfusion and utilises the latest technology and research to reach this objective.

The Service operates according to international standards as set out by the World Health Organisation, complies strictly with the government of South Africa's Human Tissue Act and is accredited by the South African National Accreditation Service (SANAS).

The WPBTS collects more than 130,000 units of blood that is used to save or enhance the lives of more than 390,000 people each year.

PLEASE HELP - YOUR BLOOD CAN SAVE A LIFE!
