Establishing a solid foundation of blood-related knowledge is crucial to encouraging teenagers to become regular blood donors. Through guided tours of blood donor centres, the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service offers secondary school students a biology lesson beyond the classroom, helping them gain basic knowledge of blood science. From the 2026-27 academic year, the scheme has been expanded to all donor centres across Hong Kong.

     News.gov.hk spoke to representatives of the service to learn more about the scheme's objectives and impact, and to two students from a participating school about their takeaways from the experience.

     The story is available at www.news.gov.hk/eng/feature from today (October 25) in text and video format.
