Did you know? According to the SANBS, fewer than one percent of South Africans are active #BloodDonors. To raise greater awareness about the importance of blood donation and to encourage more South Africans to become blood donors, the Netcare Group is getting behind the South African National Blood Service’s (SANBS) life-saving #MissingType campaign. Netc*re H*spit*ls, Netc*re 911 and Medicr*ss are throwing their weight being this all-important initiative.
Why not become a blood donor and give the #GiftofLife to someone in desperate need? #Donors can give blood as often as every eight weeks.
