DWP FMIPA UGM organized a blood donation drive to increase the quantity of bloodstock in Yogyakarta. Collaborating with Sardjito Hospital, the blood donation event took place in the courtyard of the FMIPA UGM Building on Wednesday, Feb 28th, 2024. Blood donors included the general public, thus not limited only to faculty members, staff, and students of FMIPA UGM.

“Many hospitals still need blood donations. The hope is that it can be beneficial for those in need,” said Nurun Djamilatun, Chairperson of DWP FMIPA UGM.

The enthusiasm of the blood donors was evident from the long queues waiting for their turn to undergo eligibility checks for blood collection. The types of checks conducted included blood pressure and hemoglobin levels. Nurun also mentioned that the blood screening was expected to raise awareness about maintaining bodily health.

“Some individuals didn’t pass the blood condition screening due to low hemoglobin levels, so we also encourage them to maintain their health by paying attention to their blood levels. With this, they can donate blood at another time,” said Nurun.

This blood donation activity has the potential to increase awareness of non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, which is a tangible manifestation of SDGs point 3 in the field of Healthy and Prosperous Life. Additionally, the activity contributes to ensuring healthcare services for the campus community to prevent or detect diseases that pose risks to donors and to increase the quantity of bloodstock for the community. This activity will continue to promote health and social awareness within the FMIPA UGM environment.
