<strong>Singapore</strong> <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Cross</strong> <strong>2013</strong> <strong>Blood</strong> <strong>Donation</strong> <strong>Campaign</strong><br />
<strong>Singapore</strong> <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Cross</strong> is the national blood donor recruiter, responsible to<br />
advocate, educate and inform the public, so as to recruit suitable blood donors in<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong> to meet the national need for blood transfusion. The three main<br />
activities of the <strong>Blood</strong> Donor Recruitment Programme (BDRP) are to<br />
1. Recruit,<br />
2. Retain and<br />
3. Recognise blood donors.<br />
The fast changing environment means that we need to also adapt our cause<br />
marketing and messaging to be relevant to the society’s needs for ‘doing good’<br />
and acting on ‘doing good’.<br />

Annex A: Useful Information on <strong>Blood</strong> <strong>Donation</strong><br />
• Units of safe blood were collected in 2011 (103,000) and 2012 (107,000)<br />
• Target of 114,000 units is a 7% increase from the amount collected in<br />
2012.<br />
• There are about 70,000 donors, in which about 20,000 are new donors,<br />
and about 49,000 are repeat donors.<br />
• Usable blood is blood that has passed screening by <strong>Blood</strong> Services Group.<br />
Each unit of donated blood goes through rigorous testing to detect for<br />
diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and other forms of STD. Less<br />
than 0.5% of the blood donated have such occurrences.<br />
• The usual drop-out rate or deferred donors is approximately 35% of those<br />
donors who have registered for blood donation. Most of the deferment is<br />
due to low haemoglobin level, or due to travel to Malaria affected areas, or<br />
due to temporal illnesses like the common cold, cough or fever.
