Blood donors honoured at ceremony

SINGAPORE - The contributions of 1,690 blood donors and community partners were honoured on Saturday at the 16th World Blood Donor Day and Champion Blood Donor Recognition Ceremony at Downtown East.

The new centre aims to offer greater convenience to blood donors living, working and studying in the north-east region. While the new blood bank at Punggol is being built, bi-monthly mobile drives have begun at Sengkang General Hospital in May so that residents of Punggol and Sengkang can start blood donation during this period. The response has been very encouraging, said Dr Khor.

"Today, I'm able to walk the wards and take care of my fellow patients as part of a patient support group," said Ms Lee, 39, a housewife.
