Macau’s eight Rotary Clubs will hold a blood donation day Sunday at the Nova Mall in Taipa to ensure a sufficient supply of blood reserves in the region. The Rotary Blood Donation Day, held from 2:20 p.m. to. 6 p.m., aims to target individuals with a Caucasian background and donors with O-, A-, B- and AB- blood groups to join Rotarians in giving blood. On average, out of 1,000 individuals with a Caucasian background, around 150 have RhD-negative blood type whereas among individuals with a Chinese background, the proportion is only three to five out of 1,000.
