Battling the impending shortage during the summer, Rakta Kranti Companies continue organizing regular blood donation drives in companies. Through this month most of the blood banks in the city had good stocks of blood.
It is correctly said that the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. The culture and principles that adopt during their childhood is what they follow throughout their lives.
Sankalp has been busy all through the month of February. And the mother wing of Sankalp is no different. The number of blood requests in the entire month is 27. It includes 4 out station requests and 2 aphaeresis requests.
Achieving 100% voluntary blood donation! It is not an easy task. On the way to achieving it, there are many roadblocks which have to be faced and taken care of.
We are in urgent need of Bombay blood group donors for a lady named Bharti who has to undergo delivery but her Hemoglobin level is very low. As of now her situation is very critical and at least 5 units of blood will required to be transfused before her delivery. She is being admitted to MS Ramaiah Hospital, Bangalore.
After having an eventful day at Mangalore, the Sankalp Disha expansion team moved on to visit Bangalore's sister city of Mysore. Again sufficient background work and inputs from senior transfusion specialists from Bangalore meant that the plan was well in place for another day of extreme buzzing.
Taking Disha across Karnataka is an activity that will take some time to materialise. Sankalp however, has made a firm and sedate start to this activity. Phase 1 of the expansion plan is to visit the major medical hubs across Karnataka and understand the ground realities that exist there.
Sankalp's brainchild, Disha, which makes sure to network all major blood banks across Bangalore city with a single toll free helpline, i.e., 1062 was started off close to 3 years ago. With massive publicity campaigns and dogmatic acclimatisation to laid down policies and ideas, the helpline today has become indespensable for Bangalore city.
Wishing you all a very happy new year. Hope this year brings with it peace, prosperity and lots of happiness to everyone.
After the blood bank meet, lots of changes were to be made in the working of CTC Disha, we had an elaborate discussion with CTC management about bringing out these new changes.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Frost would have never thought that these four lines will inspire millions.
