Lifesaver Network
Thank you for visiting our website! You have probably received an email from your friends about us. We are a charity non-profit website created with the aim of uniting all Malaysian blood donors to save lives.
You may be wondering why we are building this website. Well, from time to time, we may miss a blood donation drive because we are not aware that there is a blood donation taking place in our neighborhood. That's where we come in; this network will help to spread the news by emails to all network members about upcoming blood drive events. This network is very useful, especially, when helping those with loved one whom are anxiously awaiting for blood.

The special blood donation drive aims at breaking the record for the highest number of people to donate blood in a two-day event. Event organiser, S. Deva said as an incentive, blood donors would also be able to participate in a special lucky draw, which entitles them to a free holiday.

New technique to preserve bloodThe Health Ministry, via the National Blood Bank, has begun implementing a technology to preserve blood reserves for up to 10 years, its minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said.Called the Red Cell Freezing Technology, the new technique puts blood collected through a mixture process with glycerol, which is frozen and kept at -80˚C. Blood stored using normal techniques could only last for 35 to 42 days, he said, adding that the bank last year purchased two red cell processors at a cost of about RM120,000 each. “This technique is useful to ensure that the blood bank will have a secure supply of red cells, particularly from rare blood types,†Liow said. “With a significantly prolonged lifespan, the bank will have greater flexibility in managing the inventory, especially when there is a shortage of blood,†Liow said after launching a blood donation drive yesterday. Earlier, Liow who launched the Reduce Sugar Consumption Campaign 2010, said Malaysians were consuming drinks which were too sweet. “The average sugar intake by Malaysians in their drinks amounts to seven teaspoons or 51 gm, already exceeding recommended levels by the World Health Organisation and the Malaysian Diet Guide, which is not more than 50gm or 10% of the daily energy need,†he said.

Donors rise to the occasionDonating blood is not something unfamiliar to gym instructor Hosni Rahmat, 30, who has done so more than five times. "I believe that it is my responsibility to help others in need. I have noticed that some people often take this matter lightly ... not knowing how important it is to do so until they realise that they might need it one day," said Hosni. He was among the more than 80 employees of the News Straits Times Press (M) Bhd who donated blood at the Balai Berita here on Thursday. NSTP held the drive in support of the National Blood Centre (NBC). Properties administration branch officer Aida Karimah Hussain, 45, said she has been donating blood since her early 20s but was still fearful every time she does so.
