Blood contains many life-saving components that can help to treat different illnesses and injuries. For many people, blood donors are their life-line.
Your blood donation could help save the life of an accident victim, a patient with severe anaemia, a person undergoing major surgery or even a newborn baby.
The platelets found in blood are used to treat leukaemia patients. A single patient often needs platelets from 10 or more donors, all within a short period of time. Add to that the short 5-day lifespan of donated platelets, and you can understand why there is a constant need for platelet donors.
Every hour of the day, 15 units of blood are used in Singapore. We need to collect at least 350 units a day, as a whopping 100,000 units are needed in a year, just to meet the transfusion needs of patients in Singapore.
And with an aging population and more sophisticated medical procedures, the demand of blood is increasing.
Less than six hours after a unit of blood is donated, it can be processed into blood products to treat a variety of medical conditions. Modern processing techniques mean that a single blood donation, when separated into its components, can help at least three different patients.
To ensure a steady supply of blood for public use in peacetime and during emergencies, it is vital that a 6-day supply of blood is maintained. -
We are testing our readiness to support sudden and massive blood needs in Singapore through an Emergency Blood Exercise. Join us, give blood and help save lives.

The blood bank is still choosy about blood donors.There are many blood donation events and they all reject me as a blood donor just because I am on medications because I am a mental patient.
