Blood Donation

Our club donated a total of 2 blood bottles which are AB and O types. A 30-years-old woman patient who needed AB blood was from Shwe Kyin town, Bago division. The blood was needed for surgical termination of ectopic pregnancy. The patient has been hospitalizing at Thingan Kyoon, San Pya hospital. The other patient who needed O blood was again the boy from Mhan Pin village, Kalay Wa town, Sit Kine division whom we have donated once. He was in Children Hospital because of leukemia.

The Chief of Muslim Charity Hospital from Bar street connected the patient guardians with the club. Hence, they knew about the club, contacted us and requested. Afterward, we searched for the AB blood donor, and went to Thingan Kyoon, San Pya Hospital at 4:00 pm in the evening. Upon arrival, the blood pressure was tested. The blood pressure was over the normal. It might be occurred because of travelling long distance. Otherwise, the blood pressure monitor was not accurate. After a short rest, the donor was found at normal blood pressure. Later, the type and haemoglobin of the blood were tested. The donation was started at 5:00 pm, and ended at 5:30. We treated the donor, sent off him at 6:00 pm and back to the club at 7:00 pm.

The patient guardians from the Children hospital called us to have donated a bottle of O type blood at 3:00 pm. We subsequently searched for the O type blood donor, and reached to the hospital at 4:00 pm. Upon arrival, blood and haemoglobin testing were carried out at 4:30 pm. We have waited for the result, and got it at 6:00 pm. Having no disease in blood, the donation was started just over 6:00 pm, and done at 6:30 pm. We treated the donor and sent off home at 7:00 pm.
