Blood Wars (aka Blood Donation Drive)

Post by dranoel » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:51 pm

The Bloodbank@HSA needs at least 250 blood donors every day to meet the transfusion needs of patients at all the hospitals in Singapore. With an increasing population and more sophisticated medical procedures, the need for donors is increasing.
Now let us all do our part as well...

Together with our Star Trek friends, we are organising a joint Blood Donation event on Saturday 3 February

More details coming your way over the next few days... In the meantime, mark 3 Feb on your calendar as the day to reserve for this blood donation event.

pssst... we hear that Starfleet officers, Imperial Troops and more, will be dropping in to donate blood too! :wink:

Not sure if you meet the criteria to be a blood donor? Check out the HSA website: http://www.hsa.gov.sg/html/consumer/ctm ... donor.html

If you do not meet the criteria to donate blood, you can still be a part of the event and help by encouraging your family members and friends, to come donate blood on that day.

Watch this space for more updates... :)

Blood Wars
"May the Force Live Long & Prosper"

Date: Saturday 3 February 2007
Time: 10am to 4pm
Venue: BloodBank@HSA
Location Map: http://www.hsa.gov.sg/html/consumer/ctm ... tions.html

Blood Wars will bring fans from the local Star Wars and Star Trek communities together for a Blood Donation Challenge to see which side can raise more blood donations. All donors on that day will get to choose which side they wish to pledge the blood donation for - Star Wars? or Star Trek?

Friendly competition aside, the main objective is to encourage more people to become blood donors and help the Blood Bank meet the blood transfusion needs in Singapore.

Kudos to Haldir for proposing the joint StarWars-StarTrek Blood Wars event :D

In appreciation of the blood donations received during the event, every blood donor will receive a free photo taken together with Star Wars and Star Trek characters who will be present throughout the event.

Please refer to the HSA website to find out if you meet the requirements to be a blood donor: http://www.hsa.gov.sg/html/consumer/ctm ... donor.html

If you are not able to donate blood, you can still be a part of the event by encouraging and accompanying your friends and family to come and donate blood during the event. Let us all do our part to help those in need of blood transfusion.

To help us better manage the event, please indicate in this thread if you will be able to come donate blood at this inaugural Blood Wars event.

**We are also looking for artistic talents amongst us to help design a Blood Wars logo. Drop me a pm if you are keen** :wink:

I'm still on the 10-weeks minimum probation period and just past my 4th week so won't be able to donate blood no matter how high my red blood cell count is. :cry:

But will be there to help out the whole day. ;)

That's the spirit Haldir. :D

For the rest of us... in case anyone may have reservations about how safe it is to donate blood.

http://www.hsa.gov.sg/html/consumer/ctm ... _know.html
• Giving blood is entirely safe.
• The health of each potential donor is carefully assessed by our attending doctor or nurse before donation.
• It is impossible to catch any disease by donating blood as the equipment used is entirely disposable ie., it is used only once and discarded.
• The average adult has 4 - 5 litres of blood. At each donation, only 450 ml of blood is drawn. This is about one-tenth of the total volume of blood in the body.
• The volume donated will be replaced in 72 hours. Giving blood will have no harm to your body and will not weaken your immune system.
So come join us :)
