Aman Optimum Fitness Centre held a blood donation drive in collaboration with the Blood Donation Centre, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital at its main centre in Jalan Muara from 10am to 2pm yesterday.
The fitness centre’s General Manager Haji Jafrin bin Haji Mat Jahit was present.
A total of 34 pints of blood were collected during the blood drive.
Donors underwent a medical assesment prior to the blood donation and were treated with light refreshments.
Haji Jafrin said, “This is our first blood donation drive and it is part of our corporate social responsibility. The response is encouraging especially from guests, clients as well as members of the public. I would like to express my appreciation to the Blood Donation Centre for their assistance in setting up the facility and for taking precautionary measures to conduct the blood donation drive safely.
“Aman Optimum will continue to uphold its commitment and help the local community. We would also like to thank our sponsors.”
The drive aimed to raise community awareness by donating blood and increasing the national blood bank reserve supply.
