Blood Donation

Our club donated a bottle of blood type A on 21st of February. The patient was a 46-years-old woman. She had a tumor on the breast, and has been hospitalizing at Thin Gan Kyoon Hospital to operate and remove that tumor. She lives in Aung Than Pyay 2nd street, Thin Gan Kyoon. At the noon of 20th of February, the patient guardian called the club and requested a bottle of blood type A which would be needed on the following day, 21st of February. Therefore, we again contacted a donor of blood type A. An organizer from the club took the donor to the hospital on 8:00 am of 21st February. Upon arrival to the hospital, blood testing and blood pressure test were performed. Blood donation was started on 9:00 am and ended at 9:30 am in the morning. There was a treat of cold drinks to the donor supported by the club after the donation. We sent the donor back to home, and arrived back to the club on 10:00 am.

There was another donation of a bottle of blood type O, again on the same day. The patient was a 49-years-old man who is from South Dagon. He had been hospitalizing at the Thin Gan Kyoon Hospital for the kidney operation. Once we have delivered our club pamphlet in "Tha Mar Daw " pharmacy store which was located in front of the hospital. That store appointed the patient guardians so that they could ask help from the club for the blood donation. They contacted us and requested a bottle of blood type O at 10:00 am in the morning. Hence, the club searched for a O type blood donor and went to the hospital at 10:15 am. The donation was started at 12:00 pm after the blood test and hemoglobin test. After that, we treated the donor with the cold drinks. Finally, we sent back the donor to home and back to club at 2:30 pm.
