Went to school as usual in the morning, the only difference is that i went for blood donation.
Blood donation is a good way to do a good deed without giving money.
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.
Every hour of the day, 15 units of blood are used in Singapore. HSA need to collect at least 350 units a day, as a whopping 90,000 units are needed in a year, just to meet the transfusion needs of patients in Singapore.
I urge everyone to donate your blood. The process is very safe. Every needle use is strictly on a person only. You will be ask to do a declaration form, next a doctor will measure your blood pressure, lastly, they need to test your haemoglobin level in the blood. Need to have a haemoglobin level of at least 12.5 g/dl & above.
Do a good deed. Save a life.
