Raising awareness on the benefits of donating blood


PETALING JAYA: Better incentives for blood donors may encourage more to donate, but such perks are still not widely known among the masses, says St John Ambulance of Malaysia executive manager Kevin Peter Ryapan.

“The issue here is that many are unaware of the benefits although that information, along with the tracking of personal blood donations, is digitally available on the MySejahtara mobile application,” he said.
