A boost for blood bank

What say you on the issue below?

HOTEL Equatorial Kuala Lumpur organised a blood donation campaign and free health checks at its premises recently.

Caring lot: Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur employees donating blood.

They consider it a community service and donated blood voluntarily.

“Not only does this help to replenish the blood bank, this is also an opportunity to increase awareness on the need for blood to save lives,” said Hotel Equatorial’s Training & Development Manager Kemmy Tan.

In addition to the campaign, health checks like Body Mass Index test, Biological Age/Pre-diabetes screening and blood pressure readings were carried out by Abbott Laboratories (M) Sdn Bhd.

A health booth was also set-up with health information to create awareness on living a healthy lifestyle.

To top it all, a health talk on “Health Risks of Overweight & Obesity” and “Diabetics Disease and its prevention” was conducted by Dr Mohd Ramzan Abdul Gafoor Khan.
