Blood Donation

The club donated one bottle of blood type A at Karen New Year Day. The patient was being hospitalized at Yangon General Hospital. One of her kidneys was spoiled and needed blood transfusion for renal transplant for chronic renal failure. She lived in Myay Ni Gone, San Chaung Township and is 47-years-old.

On that day, we indeed went to donate AB blood. The amount of hemoglobin in the blood of donor was not enough to donate the blood. At that time the husband of the guardian of the patient who needed A type blood found the club and requested to get help and donate blood. Therefore, the club tried to find the blood donors. Since it was the public holiday, there were fewer blood donors. At that time, there were four monks who came to donate blood to a patient. One of them was not having blood type B but A. Hence, we proposed the monk to donate blood. He agreed that because his main purpose was to donate blood. After that, we arranged for the patient's guardian to meet with the monk and brought the required documents. Later on, continue with the testing of the blood and hemoglobin. When the blood was being tested in the laboratory, the guardian of the patient donated the soft drink to the monk. Donation started at around 2:00 pm and ended at 3:00 pm. We hired a cab to sent him back to Nat Mout Street, Tamwe Township, the Su Htoo Pan Pa Yi Yat Hti Shwe Kyin monastery where he resided. Finally, the club has supported for the donation of a blood bottle on Karen New Year Day.
