Main Campus, 28th April - Recently, Tionghua Language Society in cooperation with Penang General Hospital held a wonderful blood donation event in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), which received positive response from lecturers and students. This event was held at Dewan Utama Desasiswa (DUD) and allowed students to walk in to get blood donations.

​

Before donating blood, donors are required to fill out a questionnaire asking about personal health history, drug use and other information to ensure the safety of blood donations. The medical staff will conduct a series of health checks on the blood donor, including measuring blood pressure, weight, temperature to ensure that the donor is healthy and eligible for donation. When all the needs are qualified, the medical staff will arrange the donor in a comfortable position, and then use professional equipment to collect blood from the donor's veins, usually about 450 ml per donation.

​

As the president of Tionghua Language Society, Khor Kim Hwee also expressed high praise for this event. “The blood donation campaign is a very meaningful public welfare activity, which can not only help those in need, but also improve students' awareness of public welfare and social responsibility. We will continue to support and encourage such activities to spread health knowledge and promote healthy lifestyles,” said Khor.
