Manitoba in urgent need of blood donations in month of July

  WINNIPEG As Manitoba continues to reopen and loosen restrictions, there is an urgent call for blood donations. The demand comes as summer is now in full swing and hospitals are looking to catch up on cancelled surgeries.  Throughout the pandemic, blood inventory levels were maintained but now that situation is changing as 1,000 blood donation appointments are needed in the next three weeks. We are seeing an increased need for blood and that’s actually about pre-COVID-19 levels, said Steve Raizen, Manitoba territory manager for the Canadian Blood Services. While the province as a whole needs 1,000 appointments, 900 of those are needed in Winnipeg.

Demand for blood donations on the rise as COVID-19 restrictions lift

  REGINA With some provinces beginning to lift COVID-19 restrictions, the demand for blood donations in the country is increasing. Canada is in need of more blood donors this summer, as hospitals begin procedures that were put on hold throughout the pandemic. Canada-wide, more than 23,000 appointments have been made to receive blood by July 31. Here in Regina, more than 600 appointments need to be filled by the end of the month. “Blood and blood products are needed every single day,” said Aaron Barlow, territory manager of Donor Relations for Canadian Blood Services. “In the summer months, we do see an increase in demand, said Barlow. ”We always need donors coming in to ensure we have a healthy inventory for people needing blood.”
