Blood Service raises age limit for donations - a podcast by RNZ

The upper age limit for first time blood or plasma donors is now 71, and existing donors may now be eligible to continue donating until the age of 81.
NZ Blood Service national marketing and communications manager Asuka Burge spoke to Susie Ferguson.
