Why Is Blood So Important?
Roanda collects between 60 and 80 thousand units of blood a year. A doctor at that hospital can send us a whatsap telling us what they need, and then our team will immediately spring into action. Blood is collected from donors, taken to a central place where it's tested and typed. Once that's done in romanda, it was distributed to four different regional blood transfusion centres. And when hospitals needed to transfuse patients, a nurse or doctor would drive several hours to the regional centre for blood transfusion,. wait in line, sign forms, get the blood put into the back of the car, drive back.
