Blood Donation

Today (February 2nd, 2008), our Raven BDC was able to donate 1 bottle of B type blood to a 43-years-old patient at S. Okkalarpa Women and Children Hospital. She was suffering from postpartum haemorrhage. The patient lives at Kyaw Thu 17th St., S. Okkalarpa Township.

At 9 am in the morning, with the Hospital's guidance the patient's family called us for a bottle of B type blood. So, the group called up the suitable donor listed on our volunteer donor list for the donation. Our Raven BDC reached the Hospital at 11 am with the donor and the necessary procedures before the blood donation, such as blood type testing, blood pressure testing and haemoglobin testing were done. As soon as these procedures were finished, the actual blood transferring process began, which was at about 12 noon. After everything was done, the Raven BDC treated the donor with snacks and drink and sent the donor back home. We were back by 2 pm that day.
