As part of the usual process, the registration and queuing started at 08:15 AM. Volunteers underwent through registration, medical screening, hemoglobin count and blood pressure monitoring prior to actual blood donation to check their eligibility.
Participants filled out PCMC’s questionnaire which was validated during the screening. Each volunteer was then thoroughly interviewed and checked before going to the next station, which is the hemoglobin count. After being cleared, volunteers can now donate one (1) bag (450 ml) of blood in which extraction is being done by licensed medical staffs. After blood extraction, volunteers were advised for 10-15-minute rest to recuperate.
All volunteers were given food and token of appreciation for participating in the event.
