Blood Donation Drive 6.0

24-25 August 2019, 10am-6pm, MBO Cinemas, Level 5, the Starling

Join us at the Starling for MBO x SJAM Blood Donation Drive 6.0! Do you know that the first recorded successful transfusion of human blood was in the year 1818? It was to treat postpartum hemorrhage. And that the first blood bank was developed as early as year 1932? Well, now you do! Here are some tips for you prior to donating: • Have a good meal at least 3 hours prior. • Avoid smoking on the day before donating. • Do not consume alcohol for at least 48 hours prior. After donating: • Accept the snacks offered to you and rest for at least 10-15 minutes. • Have a good meal later. • Drink more than usual amount of fluids. • Do not smoke for at least 1 hour. • Avoid lifting heavy weights or exercise for 12 hours. • Leave the gauze or band-aid on for 4-6 hours and do not get it wet. Let’s do our part for a better world! Source: https://www.facebook.com/mbocinemas/
