This event is organised by the American Chamber

COVID caused global alarm of blood supply shortfall as voluntary blood donations dropped and delayed. However, patients requiring blood transfusion due to emergency and chronic conditions cannot wait.

As part of AmCham's drive to improve, unite and connect the community, we hope to raise awareness on the urgency of optimising blood supply in Hong Kong; to spark discourse and encourage our partners to include blood donation day into their CSR activity plan of their organization. We would also welcome ideas from audience for innovative ideas in driving blood donation in town.

It is our great honour to have invited Dr. CK Lee from Hong Kong Red Cross to share insights on the local situation of blood supply management and the process of arranging blood donation CSR activities. Dr. Edmond Ma & Angela Chung from Children's Thalassaemia Foundation will also share with us the needs from local patients' perspective. Maggie Lau, AmCham Future Leader 2022, will also share her story as a long term blood donor.

We have also reserved an AmCham dedicated session at Red Cross Blood Donation Centre at Wan Chai for our members to support blood donation.
