The safe transfusion of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with a higher quality of life, as well as supporting complex medical and surgical procedures. It also has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and child care and during man-made and natural disasters.
However, in many countries, demand for exceeds supply and blood services face the constant challenge of making sufficient blood available, while also ensuring its quality and safety.
An adequate supply can only be ensured through regular donations by voluntary unpaid blood donors. Help save a life today by donating blood to those in need. Giving blood is a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in the lives of others.
Blood donation campaign 2015 is the 3rd campaign organised annually by Persatuan Sahabat Prihatin Pulau Pinang. This year, we have the honour to collaborate with state of Penang in making this meaningful event a success. Our aim is to promote regular voluntary blood donation and to create wider public awareness of the need for regular donation.
