More blood donors needed<\/p>\n
From Pikiran Rakyat<\/p>\n
People are aware that accidents happen because of our own
\ncarelessness or others' negligence. In many accidents, loss of
\nblood is inevitable. So the role of the Indonesian Red Cross is
\nvital.<\/p>\n
Blood donors are mostly from the middle or lower classes.
\nTherefore, I would like to call on those from the government as
\nwell as private institutions to donate blood to save lives.<\/p>\n
Students who are 18 years old and above can donate blood every
\nthree months. If this is done continuously, by the time they
\nreach the age of 35 or 36, they will receive a certificate from
\nthe President. I am 35 years old and have donated my blood 77
\ntimes. So this year I hope to be able to come to Jakarta to be
\npresented a certificate from the President.<\/p>\n
Some people are reluctant to donate blood, thinking that the
\nRed Cross will sell it. This assumption is completely wrong. The
\nRed Cross has never sold donated blood. I have donated my blood
\nso many times simply for humanitarian reasons.<\/p>\n
Potential donors should not be afraid of being infected by any
\ndisease in the process because each hypodermic needle is only
\nused once and later discarded. So there is no chance whatsoever
\nof being contaminated by diseases of other donors.<\/p>\n
