To organise a blood-drive either on your organisation's premises or in the community, please contact the Singapore Red Cross at 6220 0183 or email donate.blood@redcross.sg for more information. 

We do not collect directed donations. Blood is regularly supplied to hospitals all over Singapore based on their needs.  

Yes, you can bring your friend. However, they will have to join the walk-in queue whereas you will have priority since you have already booked your donation slot. As such, if there are many donors on the day, you may not be able to make your donations together. Alternatively, your friend may call Singapore Red Cross at 6220 0183 to make an appointment at least one day beforehand. You can also make an appointment online or via the DonateBlood App. 

Your blood is sent for screening and separated into three components - red blood cells, platelets, and fresh frozen plasma - before being placed in carefully monitored and controlled conditions to make sure it's in an optimal state when transfused. Red blood cells can be stored for up to 6 weeks, but most of the blood is usually transfused within 2 weeks.
