Apart from being an independent voluntary and benevolent organisation, the Red Crescent is very much community service orientated. It reaches out to the people who are in need of help, especially the vulnerable and those who need help.
Blood Donors Recruitment
The Blood Donors Recruitment Programme began in1948 and is today’s limelight activity not for Sarawak Branch, but the whole of the Malaysian Red Crescent Society. The Branch had scored success in curbing the unethical selling of blood by unscrupulous persons. Another milestone in this Programme is the increase of blood donors drawn from the civilian population. Public education had been the main thrust towards yielding this sucess.The Society also provides recognition to the blood donors through a system of awards, besides the incentives given by the Ministry of Health. Innovative competitions for blood donors recruitment are also being organised to induce greater turn over of new blood donors. Health protection of our voluntary donors through our hepatitis immunisation programme had been initiated to sustain the existing panel of donors. Incentives for blood donors
