Blood Donation

Today Raven BDC was able to donate A type blood and AB type blood, a bottle each. A type blood was for the 46-years-old Japanese patient whom we donated at October 26th. Doctor Daw Thida Aung (Incharge) from blood bank, National Blood Department called for another bottle of blood at October 28th. She also mentioned that since the blood would be taken out with machine, it would be better if the person has experience in this type of blood transfusion. The suitable donor hadn't waited long enough to do another donation but after the doctor confirmed that it was ok for the donor to do another donation, we called up the donor to make appointment for the blood donation at October 29th.

At 10:30 Am on October 29th, the A type blood donor and two members from the Raven BDC went to the blood bank. After measuring the blood bank, we waited for the results for the blood results. On 10:45, the guardians of a 23-years-old patient admitted to the blood ward from South Zine Ganine of Pago Division asked to donate a bottle of AB type blood from the members who were at the hospital that time. Luckily, a member who was there has AB type blood so, we were able to donate blood to the new patient at that same day. Therefore, the blood transfusion for AB type blood started first at 11 AM in the morning. The A type blood was taken by machine at 12 noon. At 2 PM, all the transfusions were done so, we came back from the hospital. The donor got back home at 3:30 PM in the evening.
