National Voluntary
Blood Donation Day
- Significance of
Voluntary Blood Donation and Role of DAPCU to Promote
Though medical
science has developed a lot but it has not been able to develop any type of
instrument / equipment / medicine for creation of blood which is inevitable for
survival of human beings. As the blood
can not be created artificially that is why donation of blood is necessary. Just
saying donation of one unit of blood is not enough but it saves a valuable life
in disguise. To create awareness among the general people a Voluntary Blood Donation
day is observed. So our nation observe VBD day on 1st October of
each year.
2. Observation of
Voluntary Blood donation Day at the District
& Uniqueness of the programmeWe also observed the said day in our district in this year. We
involved many organizations in this day. Such as colleges, Red Ribbon Club,
Rotary clubs, NGOs, NGOs under NYK, blood bank staffs and NACP staffs. This VBD
day observed from grass root level to the top level like from village/ULB level
to district level. We organized many camps in Panchayat / block level /
district level. Debate / quiz and drawing competitions are organized involving
educational institutions like private institutions, Govt. colleges & Govt. tech. institutions to spread the message for voluntary blood donation.
3. Challenges faced to
get the voluntary donors and
Strategies used in the District to overcome the Challenges
In some of the
interior areas there is a blind notion regarding donating blood is harmful to
health & they shall be weak. For eradication of this type of blind ideas, visiting
RR Clubs, mobilized the club members, organizing workshops involving and using
the link workers at Panchayat level, towards VBD to spread the messages on
blood donation, its good impact and benefits to the society. In addition to the
workshops blood donation motivation session is conducted.
Another great
challenge in donation camp is concealing of previous high risk activities which
in turn results wastage of kits (blood bag), labor, time & money when it
passes through 5 mandatory tests at Blood Bank Laboratory.
