MAKING HER MAIDEN BLOOD DONATION

Details
2022 Jan 08
FATWGP

Singapore Red Cross' Social Ambassador Priscilla Chan shares her maiden
experience donating blood and urges others to contribute to this life-saving
cause.

When Priscilla Chan, 38, a mother of two boys, was appointed a Social Ambassador
for the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) and got to know more about blood donation, she
soon realised the procedure was much simpler than she expected — as well as the
importance of supporting blood donation efforts. 

Recently, Priscilla went to the Bloodbank@HSA for her maiden blood donation. She
candidly shared that she was slightly apprehensive as a first-time donor, and
that she had to look away when the needle was inserted. 

To her surprise, she hardly felt any pain, thanks to the local anaesthetic that
was administered prior to the procedure. She also appreciated that the entire
blood donation process went smoothly and was completed within an hour. 

She pointed out that blood donation is a meaningful cause that many healthy
people can engage in on a regular basis.

Priscilla also found it heartening to see many people of different demographics
at the donation centre that day. 

"Blood donation is a universal expression of care to others in the community.
This simple act saves and sustains lives. I hope that more people will step
forward to help because Singapore is in constant need of blood," she said.

Understanding Singapore’s Blood Supply Needs

According to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), in 2020, Singapore used 325
units of blood per day  for procedures such as general surgery, medical
treatment, and emergencies. To ensure ample stocks in times of emergency, HSA
maintains six days' worth of blood supply. However, in 2020, blood donors
amounted to only 1.78 percent of the island's residential population. 

Priscilla emphasised the need for more people to step forward to donate blood,
and for existing donors to continue donating blood even amidst the COVID-19
pandemic. She added that safety protocols are in place at blood donation sites
to ensure safe distancing, with screening to safeguard the well-being of blood
donors, employees, and volunteers.

Now that she is officially a member of the SRC community, Priscilla is committed
to promoting the organisation's humanitarian efforts and the National Blood
Programme.

"The demand for blood is always there. Think about the lives you can save by
becoming a blood donor," she urged.
