Posted date: 06 October 2024

Blood Transfusion Service Unit, Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) in collaboration with INSTEP HSE Department had organised a blood donation drive on 25 September 2024. This initiative, an annual partnership between HSNZ and INSTEP, marked the second blood drive of the year, following the first session held in April.

A total of 254 individuals, comprising INSTEP staff and learners, had successfully donated 203 bags of blood over the course of the two donation drives in 2024. Aligned with PETRONAS MESTIfit4health agenda, under the element of Individual Right!, this programme encourages staff and learners to promote responsible behaviour from the perspective of managing health and safety risk towards self and others.

“Blood donation drives provide an excellent opportunity for INSTEP members to network and foster connections that can lead to future collaborations and partnerships. It also promotes learning and sharing, especially from a medical perspective,” said Siti Nabihah Shamsuddin, Manager of INSTEP’s HSE Department, reflecting on the success of the event.

Beyond the life-saving impact, blood donation offers participants a mini-physical check-up, providing valuable health insights that can serve as preventive health screenings. 

“As a technical solutions provider in the energy industry, INSTEP is committed to developing well-rounded students who excel not only academically but also socially. Blood donation is a simple yet powerful way for students and staff to give back, reinforcing the importance of social responsibility and fostering a healthier, more connected community,” commented En. Mohamad bin Nasir, Chief Executive Officer of INSTEP.

All in all, the blood donation drive was a resounding success. The overwhelming support and participation made a significant impact, ensuring the continuation of this vital effort in the future.
