Come donate blood! Do your part!

As of the past week or so, blood stocks in Singapore are almost depleting.

Even though I've been donating for a little over 2years already, I still hate needles, nonetheless, think about those who need the blood to survive or fight for their lives.





Why we need more donors.

Your blood donation could help save the life of an accident victim, a patient with severe anaemia, a person undergoing major surgery or even a newborn baby.
The platelets found in blood are used to treat leukaemia patients. A single patient often needs platelets from 10 or more donors, all within a short period of time. Add to that the short 5-day lifespan of donated platelets, and you can understand why there is a constant need for platelet donors.
