How is this data produced?
This dataset is produced from transactional data recorded in the Blood Bank Information System (BBISv2), a vein-to-vein blood-tracking system used by 22 main blood collection sites under MoH which covers the majority of blood donations in Malaysia.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
The true number of daily blood donations is higher than the number recorded in this dataset, which does not reflect donations made at locations other than the 22 main sites integrated with BBISv2. However, the 22 main sites cover the large majority of blood donations in Malaysia (~80%), and therefore provide a representative view of blood donation trends. Furthermore, it should be noted that:
- The data for W.P. Kuala Lumpur includes all donations made in W.P. Putrajaya, and all donations made at mobile campaigns (e.g. at shopping malls, universities, stadiums, etc) around Selangor. Accordingly, analysis of blood donor rates by state should treat the Klang Valley as a single group comprising 3 states.
- Data for Perlis and W.P. Labuan is not available for now, because there are no blood donation centres in those states integrated with BBISv2 yet.
