We donated a bottle of A type blood at November 9th, 2007. The blood bank called Raven BDC to donate a bottle of AB type blood at around 11 AM. The patient was a 21-years-old lady who lives at Mahar Myine in North Dagon Township. She was suffering from Dengue fever and was admitted to Yangon General Hospital. A decade ago, Dengue fever was regarded as children's disease but now, it has been seen in many adults lately.
After we got the call, we contacted the AB type blood donor. Since AB type blood is naturally very rare, we had to grab the donor at his snack bar. At 12 noon, Raven BDC and the donor got to the blood bank. We took to necessary forms and did the tests. The blood sample was taken out at 1 PM to test for diseases tranferrable by blood. After the results were out, the transfusion started at 2 PM in the afternoon and ended at 2:30 PM. Raven BDC members sent the donor back home and all of us got back to the Raven domain at 3 PM.
