Why it matters

One donation is split into red cells, plasma and platelets — it can help up to 3 patients.
You can give whole blood every 3 months, so 4 times a year.
The donation itself takes around 10 minutes, and most drives hand out a drink and snack afterwards.

Before you go

Age 17–70 (first-timers 17–60; 17-year-olds need written parental consent; 61–70 need a yearly health check).
At least 45kg, 5+ hours of sleep, and a meal within the last 4 hours.
Bring your MyKad, driving licence or passport — plus your donor book if you have one.
Foreign nationals: living in Malaysia for over a year and comfortable in Malay or English.
On medication (e.g. for blood pressure)? Tell the counsellor at screening.

Donor benefits

Regular donors get free treatment at Ministry of Health hospitals and clinics, depending on how often they've donated:

1–5 times: free outpatient + 2nd-class ward for 4 months
2 times in 12 months: free Hepatitis B jab
6–10 times: outpatient + 2nd-class ward for 6 months
11–15 times: outpatient 2 years, ward 1 year — and longer from there
