Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cDONATE blood and save a life,\u201d as the saying goes, has stuck with Tuhafeni Sheuyange, who has given blood 120 times thus far.<\/p>\n

Sheuyange mentioned that he used to hear the slogan on the radio while speaking at the Namibia Blood Transfusion Service\u2019s recognition ceremony in Oshakati.<\/p>\n

This motivated Sheuyange, 55, to start his thrilling journey as a blood donor.<\/p>\n

He made his first donation while a student at UNAM Ogongo campus, a decision he has never looked back on.<\/p>\n

Sheuyange said that even after moving to the north for work a few years later, he kept up his blood donations, and it never stopped him.<\/p>\n

Due to the lack of services in the north, he would frequently travel to Windhoek to make sure he donated.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy only motivation for giving is to save lives. My objective has always been to save lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sheuyange emphasized that he made sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle to donate blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite having the fear of not being accepted as a blood donor, I still made my first donation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He continues by encouraging current blood donors to keep saving lives and doing their part.<\/p>\n

Martin Gottlieb, who underwent a blood transfusion, stated that he might not still be alive today if it were not for the blood donors.<\/p>\n

Gottlieb made light of the fact that he feared his life was over after losing close to 5 litres of blood in the accident in which he was involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t get any sleep that night since I was anticipating the surgery, which was set for the following day,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He stated that he began donating blood in 2017 and has continued to do so ever since.<\/p>\n

Various stakeholders who made sure the blood transfusion reached its intended aim received recognition awards from NamBTS.<\/p>\n

For its participation in NamBTS activities and the sharing of information, Informante\u0301 was also awarded a bronze medal.<\/p>\n

NAMBTS spokesperson Titus Shivute emphasized that blood donations are critical to improving the health of thousands of people in hospitals and medical services around Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contributions made by the stakeholders we are recognizing here today are significant in helping save patients who are in dire need of blood and blood products in our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He then urged Namibians to donate blood, especially when public holidays are on the horizon, which can potentially impact the blood reserve because NamBTS needs close to 200 blood daily to meet demand.<\/p>\n
