Blood Donation

At 10th January of 2008, the club donated total of 4 blood bottles which are 2 of AB group and 2 of B group. The patient who needed the 2 bottles of blood type AB was a 17-years-old lady. She lives in Pha Sa Pa La compound of Mingalar Taung Nyaunt Township. The health problem is leukemia. She has been hospitalizing for over one year at Yangon General Hospital. She was transfused for over 100 bottles of blood.

The patients asked the club for help at 8:00 pm of 9 January. The club contacted and informed the AB type blood donors to sleep early because the lack of sleep could affect their blood pressure. At 10 January 10:00 AM in the morning, the blood donors were asked to come to a tea shop. We went to the hospital as soon as all arrived. The patient's uncle welcomed us when we reached to the national blood center. The blood pressures and types of blood donors were checked, and found out that one out of three was the blood type B. Therefore, the two donors donated at the blood bank. After donation, the donors cheered up the patient. After that, the patient treated the donors.

During blood donation arrangement, the organizer of the club were asked whether we could help to donate the blood type B for a 13-years-old girl. The problem of the patient was having less red blood cells than the white blood cells. Therefore, the red blood cells of blood type B are required to transfuse. The patient lives in Mayang Gone Street 1 of Ton Tay. Since the blood type of one of the blood donors was Type B, it was ready and good for the patient. The require amount of hemoglobin was also enough. One bottle of B type blood was donated at the national blood bank. The donation was finished at half past ten in the morning.

While saying some parting words to the AB blood patient,beside him there was a patient who was suffering from leukemia. The guardian of that patient asked the help to donate one bottle of B type blood. The patient who lives in Thu Wunna. He is a 41-years-old man. So, there was a need to search for a blood donor. The hospital contacted the club and asked to find the blood donor. They asked the club to contact to hand phone of the patient guardian and wait at the blood bank when the donor was ready. It was 1:30 pm when the donor reached to the hospital. He was asked to rest for a while. After that, check the blood pressure and hemoglobin. The donation began at 2:30 pm and finished at 3:00 pm. The club sent off the donor after the blood donation.
