MIRI: The Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Miri Branch Blood Donor Recruitment Committee and Moving Communities Team are jointly organising a blood donation drive to celebrate International Women Day on Sunday (March 19).
The event will take place from 8.30 am to 1 pm at the MRC Miri Branch in Jalan Bulan Sabit.
Chairman of MRC Blood Donation Recruitment Committee Karambir Singh stated that blood donation is a simple and powerful way to save lives.
He said this event is an opportunity for the community to come together and make a difference.
“Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages and backgrounds receive life-saving treatments. However, there is always a need for more donors and that is why events like these are so important.
“We hope that the community will come out in force to support this importance cause. By donating blood, you can make a difference in someone’s life and help ensure that our community has the blood supply it needs,” he said in a statement yesterday.

“You donation could help to save a life,” he added.
