Join us at the inaugural National Blood Dialogue on 21st February 2025, Friday at Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. Centered around the theme “Pulse of the New Generation: Tomorrow's Heroes”, this dialogue highlights the vital role of today’s youth as changemakers and sustainers of the future. It celebrates their compassion, leadership, and selfless actions—like donating blood that drive hope and resilience while inspiring others to join them in building a brighter, shared tomorrow.

Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information & Ministry of Health, Ms Rahayu Mahzam will be gracing the event, which brings together youth blood advocates, blood donation organisers, and community members in a meaningful discussion on blood donation and community resilience. 

As Singapore progresses into a super-aged society, the demand for blood is anticipated to rise, making this dialogue a platform to illuminate the crucial importance of maintaining a stable blood supply, advocating and raising awareness on blood donation. 

The event will conclude with an award presentation at 12pm, followed by lunch, various fringe activities, and a blood drive. Participants can also look forward to engaging activities and experiences, such as the Flower Bloom Tea Workshop.

• Welcome Address by Mr. Benjamin William, Secretary General, SRCS
• Opening Remarks by Ms. Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State
• Panel Discussion: The Future of Blood Donation
• Youth Advocacy Presentations & Awards
• Networking lunch, hands-on activities, and a Blood Mobile Drive
