WC Blood Service urges public to help maintain stock levels during festive season

# The Western Cape Blood Service is urging the public to donate blood and help maintain stock levels during the festive season. While all blood types are welcome, O blood types, especially O negative, are in high demand due to their universal compatibility. So far, the blood service has collected over 140-thousand units but faces a drop in donations during the holidays. With trauma cases rising, the services says one donation can save up to three lives.
