LAUNCHING
...."Good on you," Chief Minister Musa Aman appears to tell this
blood donor after launching the blood donation campaign.
By : ELAINE MAH
DONATE blood. This is the
call Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman made to all Sabahans at
a blood donation drive yesterday.
"I urge everyone to
come forward and donate blood. By donating blood, even once in our lifetime, we
may have saved someone's life without realising it," he said.
The blood donation drive
held at Centre Point in Kota Kinabalu yesterday is a collaborative initiative
between the Barisan National (BN) Sabah Youth Movement and the UMNO Sabah
Puteri wing, which brought together more than 200 members of the public to
donate blood. The blood donation drive will run for six months in 42 locations
covering 25 UMNO divisions.
With the theme "A Drop
of Blood Means a Lot," the campaign hopes to assist the Ministry of Health
in collecting 2000 pints of blood by the end of 2012. The campaign also aims to
increase awareness among Sabahans on the importance of donating blood.
According to Deputy Health
Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin, the Ministry hopes to achieve a
ratio of 50 blood donors to every 1000 population, as compared to the current
situation at 22 blood donors to every 1000 population.
According to Rosnah, the
numbers are rising. There were 62, 643 blood donors in 2010 as compared to 66, 231 in 2011, an increase of 3588
donors.
However, she said that there
are times when reserve in the blood bank runs dangerously low because fewer donors come forward to give their
blood, especially during the festive season, school holidays, and public
holidays.
"I urge everyone who is
eligible to give blood but has yet to donate blood to please come forward and
register yourself as a donor," she said. (Insight Sabah)

ReplyDeleteSaya percaya, inisiatif dan daya usaha ini bukan sahaja berupaya menampung kekurangan bekalan darah di Tabung Bekalan Darah hospital negeri, bahkan ia juga jelas membuktikan bahawa di samping bertanggungjawab dalam memperkasa perjuangan parti khususnya di peringkat negeri, pemimpin2 BN Sabah juga turut prihatin dalam melaksanakan program-program yang memberi manfaat kepada rakyat.
ReplyDeleteKita sedar bahawa masih ramai pesakit yang memerlukan bantuan. Justeru saya memuji inisiatif pemimpin2 BN Sabah dalam menggerakkan program ini. Pada masa yang sama, saya menyeru kepada seluruh rakyat agar tampil dan memberikan sumbangan dalam konteks pendermaan darah.
ReplyDeleteDengan menderma darah sekali seumur hidup, tanpa kita sedari kita telah menyelamatkan satu nyawa dan memberi kehidupan baru kepada mereka yang memerlukan. Apa yang pasti, program seumpama ini tentunya menuntut kerjasama dari setiap lapisan masyarakat tanpa mengira fahaman politik, bangsa dan agama.
ReplyDeleteDalam konteks ini, darah yang didermakan bukan sahaja dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pesakit yang memerlukan, malah ia juga memberi faedah kepada penderma itu sendiri. Selain mendapatkan rawatan percuma di hospital-hospital kerajaan, para penderma juga sudah tentu dapat mengetahui status kesihatan mereka dari masa ke masa.
