KUCHING (May 29): A blood donation drive will be held at the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) Blood Bank on June 4 in conjunction with the World Blood Donor Day 2025.
Jointly organised by the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Stampin branch and Chung Hua Primary School No. 5, the campaign is an effort to maintain a sufficient and stable blood supply at the blood bank.
'The campaign aims to encourage more members of the public to donate blood, particularly in view of the rising demand for blood for medical treatments, emergencies and surgeries.
'It is part of our ongoing initiative to support the SGH Blood Bank and raise awareness about the importance of regular blood donation,' said the school in a statement today.
The organisers appealed to all eligible donors to support the campaign, which will take place between 8.30am and 1pm.
Donors are reminded to have a good meal beforehand, be well-hydrated and bring their MyKad or any valid identification for registration.
'Join us and help save lives — be a hero, donate blood,' added the statement.
World Blood Donor Day is celebrated on June 14 across the globe.
It serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood. blood donation drive lead sarawak general hospital blood bank
