Our Raven BDC donated one bottle of A type blood at October 8th, 2007 to a 3-years-old child from Pathein who was being hospitalized at Children's Hospital for Leukaemia. The parents called from the hospital at 3 pm asking whether we could provide them with A type blood. We called up the donor but the donor wasn't at home. While we waited for the donor to call back, the parents came to the club to ask for help so, we had to comfort them by telling them that we would bring the donor to the hospital as soon as possible and that they could go back and wait at the hospital. One member called up the donor and luckily, the member was home then so, we could inform the donor about the need at the hospital. When the donor arrived at the club, a member and the donor went out the hospital and both were there by 4 pm. The doctors measured the blood pressure and did the necessary tests. As soon as the blood results were out, which were normal, the blood transfusion was done. It started at about 4:30 pm and everything was done by 5 pm. After that, the donor was sent back home.
