Blood transfusion helps save millions of lives and more often than not, demand exceeds supply, and blood services face the challenge of making sufficient blood available, while also ensuring its quality and safety. Being conscious of this issue that has become commonplace everywhere in the world, 62 trainees and staff at Kimanis Petroleum Training Centre (KTC) had been keeping the momentum and spirit ongoing with the recent success in their eighth annual in-house blood donation drive.
Ever since 2011, KTC has been collaborating with Beaufort Hospital in organising a blood donation drive annually at the training centre. Together with another blood donation drive that was held earlier in this year March which was in conjunction with the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Day 2018, a total of 124 pints of blood had been collected as of this year, which had doubled the level of blood bank in Beaufort Hospital.
Moh Arrifin Bin Abd Ahaling, Head of KTC, appreciated and expressed his gratitude to the committed cooperation between KTC and Beaufort Hospital. “Alhamdulilah, I am grateful to see that the past donors were enthusiastically involved in this blood donation drive by being one of the earliest blood donors. This value of theirs is commendable and should become the role models of the other new donors, so they will keep this helping spirit going on without feeling frightful of donating blood,” said Moh Arrifin. Also present at the blood donation drive was Dr. Fatihah Anisah Mukhtar, Beaufort Hospital Medical Officer which was the hospital representative.
This in-house blood donation drive would not be a shared success without the collaborative effort between KTC and Beaufort Hospital. KTC looks forward to establishing another installment of the blood donation drive next year with high hopes of hitting even higher total blood collection.
