Territory Manager of Donor Relations, Aaron Barlow said just over two per cent of Saskatchewan's population donates blood.
The amount of blood needed in hospitals continues to outpace the number of donations being made in Saskatchewan and across the country.
Canadian Blood Services manages a national inventory which means blood can be moved around the country to regions in need.“In Regina alone we have over 400 appointments per week that need to be filled to ensure we are continuing on the promise that patients are receiving blood and blood products when and where they need them,” he said, adding there are a number of open appointments that still need to be filled.
According to Canadian Blood Services, Royal University Hospital needs more than 7,300 units of blood every year. “Life can change in seconds, and you or someone you love may need blood urgently. It’s up to all of us to ensure we can save lives here at home.”
