Event Goals
This time, NBD aims to attract around 2,310 donors nationwide, a significant increase from previous years.
This ambitious target underscores the urgent need for blood in Malaysian hospitals, where supplies often fall short of the required levels.
By rallying support from all corners of the country, NBD hopes to alleviate this persistent issue.
Why It Matters
Malaysia’s health care system continually faces challenges in maintaining adequate blood supplies. Hospitals require around 2,000 units of blood daily to meet patient needs, yet donations often lag behind this demand.
Blood is crucial for surgeries, childbirth complications, cancer treatments, and emergencies. By donating, we can directly impact lives, giving patients and their families a renewed sense of hope.
Beyond Blood Donation
NBD actively promotes organ donation as a crucial aspect of its campaign.
With over 2,600 pledged donors already registered, the initiative seeks to inspire more individuals to make this significant commitment.
Pledging to become an organ donor is a profound commitment to humanity and a legacy of kindness.
