With advancement of technology, the process of Blood Donation is now a breeze.\u00a0Here’s a guide on how to donate blood in Singapore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Booking<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nUse the blood bank app, log in through SingPass to book an appointment at any of the blood bank centres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also go to HSA Website<\/a> with your SingPass to make an appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Arrival at blood bank <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe whole process took only less than 75mins for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Pre-donation health condition check <\/strong>\n
\n- Questionnaire <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Blood test <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consultation with Doctor <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Blood donation<\/strong> \n
\n- Anesthetic will first be administered by the Nurses on our donation hand <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The 2nd<\/sup> needle will be for the donation <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 15-30mins depending on individual blood flow condition <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Post donation <\/strong>\n
\n- Rest for at least 10 mins at resting area <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Snacks and drinks will be provided <\/li>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Monitor your health condition for the next 1 week <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou should not do rigourous exercise in the next 48 hours. Also, refrain from exerting force on your hand that drew the blood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than that, life is very much as per normal after donation. I even rode around in my motorcycle without any discomfort at all! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy should we donate? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Every hour of the day, 15 units of blood are needed in Singapore. That equates to 400 units per day and 12,000 units each month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blood is needed to save lives in times of emergencies and to sustain the lives of those with medical conditions, like leukemia, thalassaemia and bleeding disorders, as well as patients who are undergoing major surgeries <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through you blood donation, you can save lives in times of emergencies. Also, you can sustain the lives of patients going through medical condition such as leukaemia and those that require major surgeries. Furthermore, there are a total of 8 blood types [A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, O-]. This only means that we need more blood donors to join the cause and help the patients! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy should we donate? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can visit any 4 Bloodbank managed by HSA or any of the community drives<\/a> organised by partners of Red Cross Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
