As we know. the National Blood Centre (NBC)
and blood banks throughout the country are still facing shortage of blood
donors, registering low number of turn-up among donors as the main reason. According to statistic, only 2.5% of Malaysians are blood donors, compared to
international standards of 5% of a country’s population. MBO said that most blood donation drives are conducted at the same key venues
around the nation, which results in us not being able to reach out to new
potential donors. And with MBO Nationawide Blood Donation campaign that targets multiple
locations and demographics they are confident that they will be able to reach their target
of getting 5000 donors to participate.
The MBO Nationwide Blood Donation Campaign
will take place in the following MBO outlets nationwide on 27 SEPT from 12pm to 6pm :
