# Is Your Blood Type A Or O? It’s Urgently Needed As Supplies Are Expected To Dip During Ramadan

##### With Ramadan and the upcoming festive holidays around the corner, Malaysia’s blood supply is expected to face a decline.

The National Blood Centre is now calling on individuals with blood types A and O to step forward and donate as soon as possible to ensure hospitals have enough supply for patients in need.

## Stocks expected to drop during Ramadan

According to [Kosmo!](https://www.kosmo.com.my/2026/02/27/individu-darah-a-o-diperlukan-segera/), the National Blood Centre stated that blood stocks for types A and O are projected to decrease throughout Ramadan and the festive period.

As many donors adjust their routines during the fasting month or travel for celebrations, blood donations typically see a drop.

Because of this, the centre is urgently appealing to what it calls “blood heroes” with types A and O to come forward.

> **Blood heroes with types A and O are urgently needed. Blood stocks are expected to decrease during Ramadan and the festive holidays,” the statement read.**

The centre also encouraged eligible donors to continue donating blood throughout Ramadan to help ensure patients receive timely treatment.

> **Please come forward to donate blood throughout the month of Ramadan to ensure that patients’ needs are adequately met."**

Blood donations are crucial for accident victims, surgery patients, individuals undergoing cancer treatment, and many others who rely on a steady supply daily.

## Check locations online

For those who wish to donate, the National Blood Centre advised the public to check its official website for the latest list of donation locations.

Members of the public can visit [www.pdn.gov.my](http://www.pdn.gov.my) to find updated blood donation centres and mobile drives around the Klang Valley.

If you have blood type A or O and are eligible to donate, this could be the perfect time to step up and make a difference.
