Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo Hosts Blood Drive as Part of Social Service Initiative

To mark its 6th anniversary and reaffirm its commitment to social service within the community, Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo held a blood drive on Saturday (September 26). Hosted in the Komodo 3 Room, the event began at 10:00 WITA and proceeded smoothly and enthusiastically.

This humanitarian initiative was made possible through a collaborative effort involving Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo, the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) of West Manggarai Regency, the West Manggarai Military District Command (Kodim 1630), and the Labuan Bajo Naval Base (Lanal). The event successfully collected blood donations from 49 individuals, including personnel from the Army (TNI AD) and Navy (TNI AL), as well as members of the general public.

“Today’s blood drive is not merely part of the 6th-anniversary celebrations for Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo; it is a tangible expression of our care and social commitment to the community. We extend our sincere gratitude to PMI West Manggarai, Kodim 1630 West Manggarai, Lanal Labuan Bajo, and all the members of the public who attended and donated blood. We hope this social activity fosters greater public awareness and interest in regular blood donation. Every drop donated not only significantly boosts the blood supply in West Manggarai but also yields positive health benefits for the donors themselves,” said Mr. Rudy H. Butar Butar, General Manager of Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo, expressing his appreciation for the participation of all parties who contributed to the event’s success. Health Benefits of Blood Donation

Beyond being an act of compassion for others, the public is encouraged to participate in blood donation drives without hesitation, as the practice offers various significant health benefits, including:

• Maintaining Heart Health and Blood Circulation: Reduces blood viscosity, thereby improving blood flow and lowering the risk of heart disease.
• Promoting Blood Cell Renewal: Stimulates the production of fresh red blood cells, leaving the body feeling more vigorous and fit.
• Early Health Detection: Prospective donors undergo a free preliminary health screening. Balancing Iron Levels: Helps control and reduce excess iron in the blood, thereby preventing the risk of internal organ diseases.
• Boosting Mental Health: Fosters a sense of happiness and emotional fulfillment from helping to save others’ lives.

Through this initiative, Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo hopes to continue contributing to the progress and well-being of the Labuan Bajo community—not only within the tourism and hospitality sectors but also by driving sustainable social and humanitarian efforts.
