'Supplies are tight': Canadian Blood Services concerned about current inventory

The organization set an ambitious goal in June of attracting 100,000 new donors to address its smallest donor base in a decade. “We’ve certainly seen the donor base in the last several quarters slowly inch up again. I think about 80 per cent of that target has been met,” said Canadian Blood Services CEO Dr. Graham Sher.
The service oversees the inventory from which blood and blood products are regularly shifted around the country to meet hospital and patient needs.But inventory has a shelf life — a year for frozen plasma, 42 days for red blood cells and five days for platelets — so it takes some work to ensure supply continues to meet demand.
