University Blood Donation Marathon @PolyU

22 Mar 2023

Event Highlights

Since 2018,  PolyU’s Student Affairs Office has collaborated with the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) to organise the on-campus Blood Donation Campaign. Riding on the success of the previous campaigns, the University Blood Donation Marathon @PolyU was held from 20-22 March 2023. Over 170 students and staff participated and generously donated their blood, with 142 units of blood collected successfully. Among these successful blood donation cases, 37% or 53 of them were first-time donors.

We are proud to announce that 54 PolyU students were awarded the Young Donor Medal throughout the 2022-2023 academic year. Dr Jennifer Leung, Head of Blood Collection and Donor Recruitment at the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, and Prof. Albert Chan, Dean of Students, presented the Young Donor Medals to the medallists. This award recognises young blood donors who have achieved three donations before their 26th birthday.

The collaboration between PolyU's Student Affairs Office and the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service has made a significant contribution to promoting the importance of blood donation and raising awareness of the need for more donors.
