The ANSARA Annual Nationwide PreRamadhan
Blood Donation Campaign 2011
Date: July 16th, 2011
Day: Saturday
Time: 10.00 am to 4.00 pm
Venue: Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall
To support their noble objective Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall has offered a venue to get the public to donate blood. To encourage more people to donate blood, there will be a chance to win a lucky draw for all donors.
OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this annual nationwide preRamadhan blood donation campaign, which we must always remind ourselves, is to help collect and stock up as much blood as possible at all the blood banks throughout the country before the start of the fasting month of Ramadhan. This is in anticipation of a severe shortage of blood supply during that month because the majority Muslim population will not be able to donate blood because of fasting (puasa).
The high rate of road accidents during the ‘balik kampong’ season at the end of Ramadhan will inevitably increase the demand for blood..This increase in demand for blood when the supply is at its lowest during Ramadhan will create a critical blood supply situation throughout the country. And this occurs every year in the month of Ramadhan.
