sometime i saw on other website.
Feel that donating blood is a lot more impt then donating money or
other items. Cos blood, together with other body organs, is the
most precious things that a person can donate. In terms of donating
money or other monetary items. Anybody can donate any amount @ any
time any frequencies they like. But for most body organs, its once
in a life time n for blood, its once every 12weeks. Besides this,
there r also some others conditions attach e.g. for guys e amt
would b 430cc n girls 330cc (estimate oli). Although all this
conditions requires more time n lengthen the donating process. But
its certainly worthwhile, as I remember, so far there is 1 guy who
got AIDS n still go ahead with e donation. Eventually he was caught
n dealt wif accordingly J. so in order to eliminate such
possibilities, there is no choice but to implement such screening
process.
As mention above, due 2 e limitations in age, health and frequency.
At most a donor can oli donate 4 time in a yr, n as donating blood
is not very widespread amoung sporeans, From time to time, we will
hear o c report & articles on newspapers n radios telling ppl
that e blood bank is running out of blood n needs donations asap,
if not
this problem is due to e low turnout of blood donations.
Some fears o misunderstanding that ppl commonly have about
B.donation is fear of hand becoming weak after donation o body
feeling weak n have to rest for e rest of e day. I have been
donating blood for a few yrs and it is oli during my first donation
do I feel a bit thirsty(due to e loss of a significant amt of
liquid in e body within a short time). E other minor discomfort
might b, as there is a bandage covering e wound. It would b
difficult to bend e hand for e rest of e day. Otherwise, I dont
encounter any other problems at all. Anyway, until now all donation
centres that I have been to so far do provides some form of
refreshments for donors at e end of the process, so theres no much
problem with having no water to drink!
B.donations can either b done at e blood bank at HSA next to outram
park mrt o at various mobile blood donation exercise. Futher info
can b obtain @
Therefore I strongly encourage everybody to consider donating
blood.
