SINGAPORE — If you are aged between 16 and 60, with group O, A or B blood, weighing at least 45kg and in good health, authorities are asking you to do your part to boost Singapore’s blood supply.

“The national blood stock levels for all blood groups are currently low. To raise the blood stocks to healthy levels again, we need 1,500 group O donors, 750 group A donors and 750 group B donors to donate blood,” said a spokesperson. In particular, the national blood stock level for group O blood products is only half of what is needed.
