In an interview with the Great Dyke News, spokesperson Aggrey Ngazana, underscored the pressing need for immediate action, revealing that blood banks are currently perilously below the anticipated storage levels.
Ngazana emphasized that the organization has initiated proactive measures to address the shortage, including targeted blood donation campaigns in schools. To facilitate contributions, willing donors are encouraged to visit Blood Services Centers, with prominent locations being the headquarters clinic in Gweru along Mvuma road at Showgrounds, as well as the facility in Kwekwe.
