 BLOOD DONATAION

 

Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Quran “….whoever saves a life, it is as though he has saved all mankind”

 

An individual’s generosity defines his caliber and amplitude, regains his mutual relation by allocating most exquisite amenity in the form of blood. A voluntary life saver has always an authority of creating a hope of life for someone who has its unmeasured demand. As the world’s order is getting disturbed and paralyzed due to many health challenges, it needs high time conscious and meaningful initiatives to console and regain what has been lost and what could be achieved largely. The requirement of blood has increased due to the increase in the number of chronic diseases. What we need is to make people aware about the importance of blood donation by involving healthcare professionals, concerned authorities, officials and Govt, agencies, NGO’S who will support the blood donation campaigns with the help of volunteers at grass root level. Strengthening the aim of blood donation is only possible if we involve all the stakeholders mostly importantly those who are involved directly or indirectly with the medical fraternity.

 

The seminars, advertising services, TV, print media and Social media can play a vital role to make voluntary Blood donation successful. It is only possible if we thrive a visionary support throughout and publicity its benefits should be entertained. The administration can bring an impactful lead in creating the scenes by involving volunteers in different campaigns and honoring them on bigger occasions so that others will get a kind of motivation and feel the importance of the Noble cause.

 

Post covid-19 pandemic, the scenario and demand of blood has made tense environment globally and has put all the activists and healthcare professionals in a mindful thought how to cover-up the requirement of blood at large scale. The situation of larger demand is never allowing them to feel comfortable due to increase in the number of cancer Patients.

 

The blood platelets demand increases due to surge in the number of cancer cases and other chronic diseases. The hospitals are facing huge shortage of blood post Covid pandemic is an eye opener and adequate measures should be taken to tackle with the situation. Many countries worldwide are facing the challenges and not getting the enough blood donors and also proper quality of safe blood. What is actually important is to have the reasonable strategic analysis to deal with the blood Requirement by following constructive measures and collective efforts.

 

 

 

Way Forward

Organizing blood donation camps on the important occasions, involving more live Donors who will get in touch directly with the patients or Attendant’s, Blood Donation Activists, Hospital working staff, Blood bank officials whenever demand arises. With the help of live Blood Donors the blood in the blood banks can be used in the times of emergency. Every year Hundreds and thousands of patients die due to the shortage of blood.

  • Involving people with the Noble cause
  • Demonstrating publicly and spreading awareness about the benefits of BLOOD donation.
  • Engaging Blood Donors to become repeat Donors can help greatly to the cause.
  • Educating people about the real worth and encouraging them to join the humanistic cause.

How to Tackle the Fear of Blood Donation

The need of the hour is to aware and educate the people about the doubts and fear in donating blood. This is actually most important part as more oftenly people are ill informed about the blood donation.

 

Also, Collective Steps needs to be taken to ensure the safety of blood donors, starting from hemoglobin checkup, weight, Blood pressure assessment and Pre donation counseling by trained medical personnel. Donors are requested for a mandatory rest after the blood donation followed by some refreshments as well.
