KCI supports Bloodletting Activity of PUP-San Juan Campus


The PUP-San Juan Campus together with The Kapatirang Claretiano, Inc. has partnered with the Philippine Red Cross in a bloodletting activity last September 27, 2013 in PUP-San Juan Campus, San Juan Manila.

The staff, professors, students and members of partnered organizations (e.g. KCI) took part in donating blood. KCI supports bloodletting activities because it is good for the health of the person donating blood and the recipient of blood. 

Research discovered donating blood could help reduce the risk of heart attacks and cancer.

It has this affect by reducing iron levels, which can thicken blood and increase free-radical damage.

Beneficial for weight watchers too as people burn 650 calories with every pint donated.


KCI also supports this activity as it ensures healthy and hefty supply of blood. “A blood donation truly is a “gift of life” that a healthy individual can give to others who are sick or injured.”
