This is a email sent out by NPD request for O+ doners.
One of our Navy servicemen, ME2 Jason Chee Weng Fai, was critically injured during deck operations onboard RSS Endeavour on 10 Dec 12. He is currently warded at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Changi General Hospital (CGH). He had since undergone several operations and his condition remains critical.
Jason will continue to require blood transfusions for subsequent operations, and the national blood supply for the O+ blood group is low at the moment.
I wish to appeal for blood donations (O+ blood group) at the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to support Jason in his journey to recovery. Any blood donations made at HSA will go towards the National pool which will facilitate Jason's blood transfusion requirements. Details on the blood donation drive are stated as follows:
