Raven BDC donated a bottle of A type blood at October 26th. It was a Japanese patient who was admitted at Yangon General Hospital for Leukimeia. Raven BDC weren't able to collect any data of the patient other than that. It was told that he's a foreigner. It felt wrong to be left out from getting necessary information from the patient like that. Why weren't the donor and our Raven BDC who facilitated in the event permitted to get these informations? It was a weakness of performance in the official procedures that must be carried out for the Raven BDC and the group didn't like the patient's secretiveness. Since it's saving a life, we donated blood without a fuss but it was difficult to keep a record about the donation.
Dr. Daw Thida Aung (Incharge) from National Blood Department called us asking if we could donate a bottle of A type blood with blood transfusion machine at 6 PM on October 25th. So, Raven BDC members and the donor went to the blood bank on 9 AM at October 26th. The blood was tested at 10 AM in the morning. At 11 AM, the blood result was out so, it was piped out with the machine. Since the machine only the plasma and the platelets are taken from the donor's blood and the components are parted out and sent back into the donor, it takes longer. The donation ended at 2 PM in the evening.
