The Canadian Blood Services’ need for blood is rising as restrictions ease and hospitals resume procedures that were put on hold.
While all blood types help patients, there is a specific need for donors with O-negative blood type. Donors with O-negative blood are part of a select group whose donations are compatible with everyone.
As Canadians look forward to gathering with family and friends and planning long-awaited opportunities to travel, countless patients will rely on blood products to survive.
If you’re in general good health, please book and honour your appointment to help patients. Eligible donors are encouraged to book and keep their appointments between now and July 4.
You can download the GiveBlood app, call 1 888 2 DONATE, or book now at blood.ca.
