There are several important role players involved in the blood donation process, the most obvious of course, are donors and recipients.

But the blood collection staff, donor ambassadors and donor recruiters are just some who assist to make the blood donation engine run smoothly.

Adding to this team on a local level, is the Polokwane SANBS donor centre relations practitioner, Mompati Sebogo, who is of invaluable support.

Sebogo has been a donor relations practitioner for almost four years and says his primary function is to ensure that all matters relating to donors are attended to.

"I have to make sure that donor complaints, if any, are handled accordingly. Then I also have to make sure the mobile blood drives are confirmed with our site contacts and source new mobile donation drives."
