Brunei Red Crescent Society invites public to donate blood on Sunday

Friday, May 9, 2014

THE Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) invites all members of the public to come and donate blood between 10am and 12pm this Sunday at Times Square in Berakas.

“(You) don’t have to be donors, but you may convince your family members, your colleagues or your friends to come on Sunday to bleed for a good cause,” said the BDRCS, in a press statement.

The BDRCS blood donation programme, titled “A Pledge of 100 Pints of Blood to Save Life”, is organised in conjunction with World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, as well as the 66th anniversary of the BDRCS.

Themed “Together for Humanity”, this year’s World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day highlights the importance of partnership in handling humanitarian relief efforts.

BDRCS first began as the Brunei Red Cross Society in 1948 (under the administration of the British Red Cross), but changed to become the Brunei Red Crescent Society after the country’s independence in 1984.
Currently, BDRCS has over 1,000 members, a majority of whom are secondary students.

In addition to providing first aid services, BDRCS also provides health advisory services, first aid training at the youth, professional and community level.

The society also actively conducts various awareness campaigns about road safety, healthy living, international humanitarian laws, and diseases. – Amanda Yap
