Join the Bone Marrow Registry. Save Lives with Compassion.\n<\/p>\n<p>Blood and stem cell donations are critical to saving lives, especially for patients battling blood cancers, severe anemia, or immune disorders. Yet, Singapore continues to face a shortage of both regular blood donors and registered bone marrow donors.<\/p>\n<p>To address this urgent need, Tzu-Chi Foundation (Singapore) partners with the Singapore Red Cross each quarter to organise nationwide blood donation drives. Our dedicated volunteers assist with outreach and onsite reception, creating a calm and welcoming environment for all donors.\n<\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with the Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP), we also provide on-site information booths to educate the public on stem cell donation and facilitate easy registration for the national bone marrow registry.\n<\/p>\n<p>Through these initiatives, Tzu Chi continues its mission to inspire compassion, promote health, and extend hope to those in critical need of life-saving treatments.<\/p>\n<p>View Calendar of Upcoming Blood Donation and Bone Marrow Drives<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c5f799 elementor-widget__width-inherit ha-has-bg-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6c5f799\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h3> Our Legacy of Giving: Three Decades of Lifesaving Advocacy\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8d7c79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a8d7c79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since as early as 1993, Tzu Chi has supported Singapore\u2019s Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) through fundraising campaigns and public education.
