As part of Beyond Pink Walk & Wellness 2025, Island Hospital invites everyone to join their Blood Donation Drive, a meaningful way to give back and support Penang’s community health.
 

Even if you’re not participating in the walk, you can still visit the Wellness Booths and donate blood, every drop makes a difference!

? Why Donate Blood?

Did you know one blood donation can save up to three lives? Before donating, Island Hospital will check your blood pressure, heart rate, haemoglobin level, and blood group to ensure you’re fit to donate.

? What to Expect on Donation Day

The process is simple and safe:

1. Fill in a short form.

2. Undergo a quick health check.

3. Provide a small blood sample.

4. Donate 350–450ml of blood.

5. Rest for 15 minutes — and you’re done!

? Eligibility & Preparation

You can donate if you’re 18–60 years old, weigh over 45kg, and in good health.
Before donating:

• Sleep at least 5 hours

• Eat a light, healthy meal

• Stay hydrated

• Bring your MyKad or Passport

? After Donation Care

After donating, rest well, drink plenty of water, and add iron-rich foods to your diet. Avoid heavy exercise for the next 24 hours to help your body recover smoothly.
