# The South African National Blood Service is urging eligible South Africans to donate blood as national stocks come under pressure. SANBS says it needs to collect three-thousand-500 units a day to maintain a five-day supply, but current collections are falling short. It’s calling on regular, first-time and lapsed donors, particularly those with O and B blood groups, to come forward, as every donation can help save up to three lives.
