Blood donations • Efforts on to encourage organisations, youth to back life-saving cause

The Straits Times

|

June 12, 2025

We thank Mr Ivan Ong for advocating the importance of blood donation (More youth, corporate support needed for blood donations, June 4).

Blood donation is a voluntary act, and time off for donating blood may be awarded at organisations' discretion. The Civil Service has taken the lead to allow public officers to use their volunteer leave for blood donation. This demonstrates the Civil Service's strong commitment to the National Blood Programme in securing the nation's blood supply.
