Out of the red: NGO on a mission to restore Sabah's blood supply levels


Sabah MRCS blood donation programme chairman Leslie Chan Boon Siang (left) has urged Sabahans to turn out in full force to help replenish the state’s blood supply.

KOTA KINABALU: Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Sabah are going all out to help replenish the state’s blood supply after most of them were unable to hold any blood donation drives for the past two years.

One of them is the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) Sabah chapter, which despite being the only organisation allowed by the authorities to hold collection campaigns in the last couple of years, was still unable to meet its targets.
