KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 — From Johor station to Universiti Malaya, Malaysians came together in a show of generosity and unity for the National Blood Donation (NBD) 2024/2025 event, organised by National Blood Donation UM Club, proving once again that every drop of blood donated is a step toward saving lives.
This year’s achievements included:
- Total blood packs collected: 1,399.
- First-time donors: 397.
- New organ donor pledges: 32.
These numbers represent more than just statistics—they symbolise lives saved, hope renewed, and communities strengthened.
Some highlights from this year’s event included:
- Thousands of donors stepping forward across multiple states.
- A growing number of organ donor pledges, ensuring a future of second chances for those in need.
- Unwavering support from volunteers, sponsors, and medical teams, making this event possible.
The closing ceremony at Universiti Malaya on May 22, 2025, provided participants with a moment to reflect and show their appreciation, celebrating every donor, volunteer, and partner who contributed to this life-saving mission.
Every single donation—whether blood or organ pledge–represents a second chance at life for someone in need. Malaysia’s hospitals require an estimated 2,000 units of blood daily and events like NBD play a crucial role in meeting this demand.
Fostering a culture of voluntary blood donation will ensure that future generations continue this life-saving tradition. Moreover, the increasing awareness of organ donation is a step toward transforming lives, offering renewed hope to patients awaiting transplants.
