It is important for blood donors to donate regularly and for blood services to increase the donor pool.

It is based on the knowledge that their unit of blood can save up to three lives, as blood is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets. Perhaps to further understand this voluntary donor approach to which we adhere as per South African law, it is important to understand how we operate and generate revenue – so that doctors can carry out modern procedures and emergency operations.SANBS is a nonprofit organisation licensed to provide blood transfusion services to the country. We receive no funds or subsidies from the government and are fully funded from the fees we charge for our service to ensure safe quality blood products.

From the moment donors come through our doors, the blood-supply value chain requires medical expertise and state-of-the-art technology to ensure quality and safety. Also factored into the costs is the transportation to specialised laboratories, as well as testing of all blood units for transmissible diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C and syphilis.At public hospitals, the costs are covered by the government and/or by a patient’s medical aid when admitted to a private facility.If a patient is admitted to a private facility as a cash-paying patient, the account for blood usage would be their responsibility.

This is in stark contrast to donors in a paid system who could prioritise monetary gain and may withhold key information when filling out the donor questionnaire.
