WHEN Patience Thusi a school teacher inKwaZulu-Natal was diagnosed with aplasticanaemia in 2010 she thought she would notlive to see her twodaughters reach adulthood
Her life changed the moment she learnedthat her bone marrow was not producingenough red blood cells white blood cells orplateletsSince that day Patience has been living be-
tween her home and the hospital to get bloodtransfusions every other day just to stayaliveThe country will this month reflect on Hu-
man Rights Day (21 March) and the foremostright in the constitution ndash the right to lifeFor the South African National Blood Ser-
vice (SANBS) this is the opportune moment
to reflect on an experience like PatiencersquosLike many others she will celebrate this Hu-man Rights Day because a life-saving bloodtransfusion was available when they neededitBecause of thousands of blood donors peo-
ple like Patience mothers in labour cancerpatients and accident victims are afforded asecond chance to complete their life storiesThis is the underlying message of a cam-
paign called GiveATomorrow which theSANBS will roll out to emphasise the impor-tant role that blood donors play in promotingpeoplersquos right to lifeldquoWhen we hear stories like Patiencersquos we
are determined to continue hosting blooddrives knowing that our donors donrsquot justgive blood they give a life waiting to be livedmeaningfully Blood transfusions have keptPatience alive for about five years so that she
can continue imparting knowledge in ouryouth as a teacherrdquo said SANBSCommunica-tions Manager Vanessa RajuTomeet the growing need for blood SANBS
must collect 3000 units of blood units dailyThree people can benefit from the variousblood products created from each pint that isgiven in the selfless actCurrently SANBS has a diverse donor base
of over 490 000 people and although this isgood the organisation is always looking to re-cruitmoremembers into its family of dedicat-ed volunteersldquoWe at SANBS hope that people who ha-
venrsquot donated blood before will be inspired totake that big step by visiting one of our dona-tion centres and embark on the fulfilling jour-ney of ensuring the availability of this pre-cious life-giving resource for those in needrdquoadded Raju

vice (SANBS) this is the opportune moment
to reflect on an experience like PatiencersquosLike many others she will celebrate this Hu-man Rights Day because a life-saving bloodtransfusion was available when they neededitBecause of thousands of blood donors peo-

are determined to continue hosting blooddrives knowing that our donors donrsquot justgive blood they give a life waiting to be livedmeaningfully Blood transfusions have keptPatience alive for about five years so that she

WHEN Patience Thusi a school teacher inKwaZulu-Natal was diagnosed with aplasticanaemia in 2010 she thought she would notlive to see her twodaughters reach adulthood
Her life changed the moment she learnedthat her bone marrow was not producingenough red blood cells white blood cells orplateletsSince that day Patience has been living be-
tween her home and the hospital to get bloodtransfusions every other day just to stayaliveThe country will this month reflect on Hu-
man Rights Day (21 March) and the foremostright in the constitution ndash the right to lifeFor the South African National Blood Ser-
vice (SANBS) this is the opportune moment
to reflect on an experience like PatiencersquosLike many others she will celebrate this Hu-man Rights Day because a life-saving bloodtransfusion was available when they neededitBecause of thousands of blood donors peo-
ple like Patience mothers in labour cancerpatients and accident victims are afforded asecond chance to complete their life storiesThis is the underlying message of a cam-
paign called GiveATomorrow which theSANBS will roll out to emphasise the impor-tant role that blood donors play in promotingpeoplersquos right to lifeldquoWhen we hear stories like Patiencersquos we
are determined to continue hosting blooddrives knowing that our donors donrsquot justgive blood they give a life waiting to be livedmeaningfully Blood transfusions have keptPatience alive for about five years so that she
can continue imparting knowledge in ouryouth as a teacherrdquo said SANBSCommunica-tions Manager Vanessa RajuTomeet the growing need for blood SANBS
must collect 3000 units of blood units dailyThree people can benefit from the variousblood products created from each pint that isgiven in the selfless actCurrently SANBS has a diverse donor base
of over 490 000 people and although this isgood the organisation is always looking to re-cruitmoremembers into its family of dedicat-ed volunteersldquoWe at SANBS hope that people who ha-
venrsquot donated blood before will be inspired totake that big step by visiting one of our dona-tion centres and embark on the fulfilling jour-ney of ensuring the availability of this pre-cious life-giving resource for those in needrdquoadded Raju
