The National Blood Services of Zimbabwe (NBSZ) in the Midlands has assured the public that it has sufficient blood stocks to cater to emergencies during the upcoming Heroes Holiday period. However, the organization urges residents in the Midlands to continue donating blood to ensure stocks remain adequate.
In an interview with Great Dyke News, Aggrey Ngazana, NBSZ Midlands Planning and Recruitment Officer and Blood Donor Coordinator, confirmed that the province currently has enough blood in stock. Ngazana emphasized that ongoing blood drives are essential to maintain these levels even after the holiday period.
“The blood drives will continue to ensure that our current levels are maintained post the holiday period,” Ngazana stated.
To be eligible to donate blood, individuals must be between the ages of 16 and 60 years old, weigh more than 50 kg, and be in good health.
