Defence blood & organ donation awareness campaign
The Royal Australian Air Force has won Defence’s inaugural blood donor challenge, helping to raise awareness of the importance of blood for people in Australia and for those on ADF operations overseas.
Commander Joint Health Major General Paul Alexander said the Australian Red Cross Blood Service was vital to Defence operations and thanked the more than 1200 donors from Navy, Army and Air Force.
“The blood challenge has helped increase the numbers of donors within the three Services, and I congratulate Air Force on registering the most donors,” Major General Alexander said.
“We appreciate the work that’s been done and I think it’s very important that Defence gets involved to build on these sorts of events.
“Our relationship with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service is an important one and our soldiers on operations are very dependent on these life saving donations.”
