After donating blood, your iron levels decrease. SANBS now provides advanced Iron Tablets with fewer side effects to aid your recovery and replace what's lost. Please ask the SANBS nurse for more information during your next donation. #BloodDonorHealth #WellnessWithSANBS #HealthyTogether

Iron deficiency happens when your body loses iron faster than it can replace it, possibly leading to anaemia. Get Iron Tablets to help after donating whole blood. For more on how SANBS supports donors, visit https://lnkd.in/dcYNp9Et #WellnessWithSANBS #HealthyTogether #BloodDonorHealth

The TEKSA branch’s new Donor Committee members were appointed and trained on the SANBS Branch Donor Committee Value Chain on Saturday, 22 June 2024. The function of the Donor Committee includes assisting with donor recruitment and retention strategies. They act as a liaison between the company and donors, attend donor-related functions, assist where required at existing and new donation clinics, and make suggestions on proposed branch initiatives. We are excited and privileged to have community members who are involved in enriching the local community. #WeAreThePulse
