BONUS: Why you need to think about donating blood
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of blood donation and features the story of Krishan Lal, highlighting its impact on lives.
One in 3 Australians will need blood in their lifetime, but 1 in 30 donate across the country. Lifeblood says recent appeals have prevented supplies falling to critical levels but have not been enough to replenish low supplies of O-positive and O-negative blood types, which are the types used in emergencies. A-positive blood stocks have also dropped in recent weeks. In this episode of The Briefing, we talk about why our listeners should consider donating blood and we learn the extraordinary story of Krishan Lal who is the perfect example of how donating blood can change not just the recipient’s life, but the lives of those around them.
