If your age falls within 18-65 years, and you weigh more than 51kg, then this post is specifically for you.
Doesn't it prick your heart when you hear of the demise of a loved one in the hospital?
How much more guilt could your heart endure when you get to know that this person could have survived only if you had come to the rescue huh!
How?

Let's do this...
Its WORLD_BLOOD_DONATION_DAY
Become a saviour today!
Donate blood!
Imagine him, loosing his breath, he has lost 25% or more of his blood to a fatal accident, he is pleading; YOUR_BLOOD
Imagine her, she is undergoing an exchange transfusion, and to survive, she's pleading, YOUR_BLOOD
Imagine you, that great feeling knowing that you have contributed greatly via YOUR_BLOOD to the saving of the life of a patient somewhere who continued to bleed after receiving 4units of packed red blood cells
Blood transfusion still remains an invaluable therapeutic measure given with good reasons because of its potential hazards. Currently, whole blood is fractionated into specific components which can be tailored to the physiological needs of the patients.
Since you have no tattoos, you aren't a sex worker or client, nor a drug addict and your hemoglobin is over 12g/dl, no major operation nor blood donation in the past 6months, no pregnancy or acupunctures in the last 12 months
Then a guest to RSSH and DGH and get yourself certified fit for blood donation,
A FREE medical check up and test would be conducted on you to certify you fit and free from viral diseases, HIV infections, syphilis, Trypanosomiasis and brucellosis.
Give blood to give life to a dying patient
Donate blood today!
