Raising awareness for blood donation

252

The Kemuda Institute organised a blood donation campaign to raise awareness and boost supply at the Blood Donation Centre of Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) hospital recently.

This is the fifth year the institute has organised the campaign, which has received good response from the students and the public. Donors must go through health screening before they are eligible to donate blood, to determine fitness and the amount of haemoglobin in the body. The eligible age for blood donation starts at 17 (with parental consent) and the donors must weigh more than 45 kilogrammes.
