Update: Blood Platelets Still Needed

Thank you all for donating blood and continuing to spread the word about Kang Fei's need for blood platelets. I had a friend coming up to me saying he got the same mail from 3 different people, which means the mail has been making it's rounds.

A lot of people have been asking about the donation procedure, and how to make sure Fei gets it.

Some things to take note of before you call the hospital up. You must be able to donate to blood type A+ (call the hotline to enquire please!). You must weigh MORE than 52kg. You must NOTbe on medication (again, just call the hotline below to ask what's allowed and what's not).

If you fulfill the above, then do the following:

Step 1: Call the NUH Blood Donation Center at 67725356.
Step 2: Tell them you want to donate blood platelets to YU KANG FEI
Step 3: The nice people at NUH will then take down your particulars and call you back as to when to come down and donate.


The reason why not everyone can donate at once is because blood platelets have short shelf lives, and hence can't be stored for long. Which is why the hospital needs a list of ready donors WHEN the need arises for Kang Fei to receive the platelets. Apologies for not clarifying that earlier.

The whole process takes about 2 hours. They'll use this machine to separate some of your blood platelets from your other blood cells.

Please continue to give folks.
