Join us as the NUS S_W SWEE H_CK SCH_ _L _F PU_LIC HE_LTH supports the Singapore Red Cross’s Blood Donor Recruitment Programme’s Missing Type Campaign, happening from 04 to 09 July, 2017, to help raise awareness of the importance of blood donation in Singapore.
Every day, more than 350 bags of blood are needed to save lives. This works out to an average of a bag of blood needed every four minutes. Blood is needed not only in times of emergency, but also during peacetime where it sustains the lives of patients with leukaemia, thalassaemia and bleeding disorders, or patients who are undergoing major surgery. With our rapidly ageing population and expansion of healthcare facilities, the demand for blood is expected to grow by three to five percent annually.
Your support will be critical in ensuring that more eligible donors, especially youth donors, make blood donation a regular part of their lives.
