Blood donation drive in Tangerang successfully collects 57 bags of blood.

TANGERANG – A blood donation humanitarian action organized by Indomaret Tangerang 1 Branch in cooperation with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) of Tangerang Regency on Wednesday, May 13, was a success. The event, held at the branch office area, saw high enthusiasm from management and employees.

According to field data, a total of 60 participants registered for the social action. Of the total registrants, 57 participants passed the health screening and successfully donated their blood, while the other 3 participants were rejected for not meeting medical requirements.

The Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Manager of Indomaret Tangerang 1 Branch stated that since joining Indomaret three years ago, he has consistently supported this agenda and has participated directly as a donor six times.

According to him, based on several health articles he has read, blood donation has a very positive impact on the body, including triggering cell regeneration.

“I feel that after donating blood, my body feels fresher, because blood cells are replaced with new ones,” said the man responsible for ensuring the reliability of store networks and computer programs so that customer service runs normally without transaction issues.

An Indomaret Tangerang 1 Branch worker appears to be undergoing health screening before having blood drawn.

In addition to personal health factors, he felt called to participate because he realized the importance of maintaining blood stock availability at the PMI of Tangerang Regency, which often runs low.

“That’s why I want to join this blood donation, to increase the availability of blood bags at the PMI so they can be used by people in need,” he said.

In his daily role leading the IT division, he also actively directs his subordinates to participate in every blood donation activity facilitated by the company. However, he understands if some of his staff cannot donate blood after undergoing medical team checks.

“I always advise my team to donate blood. But of course, not all personnel can pass the donation due to certain medical reasons, such as blood pressure being too high or low, and other reasons,” he explained, consistent with the 3 registrants rejected in this donation release.

At the end of the opportunity, he invited all fellow workers at Indomaret Tangerang 1 Branch who have never donated or are still hesitant, to start daring to donate blood.

“Joining blood donation doesn’t hurt. In fact, it has many benefits for our bodies,” he concluded.
