Im sure you guys have heard about the crucial need for blood products right now, its on the news, in the papers and all over the internet. Please read this and do what you can to help #bloodsignal is on! Canadian Blood Services has launched an official appeal to urge Canadians to donate blood immediately. This is the first time since 2008 that Canada’s inventory has reached such a critically low level. All blood donors are needed, in particular those with type O and A blood. If the trend is not reversed, we will have difficulty meeting the expected hospital demand across the country and this could impact patients. As a valued partner, we are looking to you to help us rise to the challenge and help your fellow Canadians. As a transplant patient we use MANY blood products and the lack of blood products at the moment can cause delays for many patients in crucial need. The canadian blood services are actively increasing their efforts by extending clinic hours where needed, accommodating more walk in donors, and fitting in additional group bookings. Please call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or contact your local Canadian Blood Services representative if you have any questions about what you can do to help.
