Urging Public to Donate Blood

Saw in the recent news that our blood supply in the blood bank is running low. Would like to help blood bank to urge public to donate their blood in order to restore the supply and to save lives. You will be surprised how a pack of blood can do wonders in a person who really needs it and of course, in saving their lives. These blood supply are normally used for patients who undergo surgery, those involved in accidents, thallasemia, dengue, fire victims, babies, high blood loss for women during delivery, etc. Yesterday as I was driving, overheard from the radio that our National Blood Bank is extending their blood donation operating hours from 7.30am -8pm from Mon to Fri and 7.30am -4pm on Sat.

I have alway think that donating one's blood is kinda noble job. As blood is only self produced in ones' body thus make it even more precious. Besides, there are benefits in donating blood. It helps to reduce the risk of heart attacks by eliminating excessive iron in the heart, stimulates the generation of red blood cells and most importantly, knowing that your blood can save someone's life. I personally can not donate blood as I'm a 'vampy' and so I would like to thank all who have done this noble job of donating blood and may God bless u all.

Lastly, if you still have not donate your blood, please do go and help our blood bank regain their full blood supply. It does make a difference in someone's life.
