🩸 Blood donation supplies across Australia are critically low heading into winter.
Hospitals rely on blood and plasma donations every single day for emergency surgeries, trauma patients, cancer treatments, childbirth complications and chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, colder weather, illness and busy schedules often lead to a significant drop in donations during this time of year.
If you are healthy and eligible to donate, now is the perfect time to book in and help save lives. One donation can make an enormous difference ❤️
A few reminders before donating:
🩸 Eat and hydrate well beforehand
🩸 Ensure you are feeling healthy and well
🩸 Do not donate if you have low iron, anaemia or have been medically advised not to
🩸 Bring your donor card or ID
From all of us at Embrace Anaesthesia and Critical Care Specialists — thank you to every blood donor helping keep our hospitals running safely this winter.
We need more blood donors to stop the drop this winter. Help keep the blood supply steady by booking a donation today.
