By using sophisticated processes and equipment, we ensure safety of all donated blood by testing:

  • transfusion-transmissible diseases
  • blood grouping
  • patient compatibility

 

We employ 2 612 (FY21: 2 565) people at 185 sites across South Africa (with the exception of the Western Cape where the Western Cape Blood Service operates).

 

We embrace operational innovation, efficiency and cutting-edge medical science and technology to maintain our leadership position. Over the past 85 years, SANBS has evolved to become a unified entity that provides a seamless service to its customers.
