Locals support blood drive

- PAULA-ANN SMIT

The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is happy with the turnout at their blood drive in Graaff-Reinet on 14 September, having collected 64 units of blood.

Prior to the blood drive, held at Te Watersaal on Bourke Street, SANBS urged donors to attend.

"Covid-19 restrictio­ns have severely limited our ability to collect adequate blood stocks, particular­ly because we are not able to access schools, colleges and corporate for blood drives," said Zikhona Ruiters, Donor Relations Practition­er for SANBS.

Locals attended the drive between 11:00 and 16:00.

 ??  ?? Amidst a blood shortage, SANBS say they’re happy with the turnout in Graaff-Reinet.
