We thank everyone who is donating towards this project. Through this, Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital is able to facilitate the continuity of blood donation sessions. This was established with the aim of ensuring constant organisation of blood donation sessions and also ensuring safe blood processing and screening with an overall objective of reducing the number of deaths due to shortage of blood for transfusion.
In the last three months Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital has managed to transfuse 526 blood units to the anemic patients in the hospital. Malaria and sickle cell disease are still the leading causes of severe anemia among our patients. During rainy seasons, the number of patients diagnosed with malaria tends to rise hence causing an increase in the total number of anemic patients.
The major challenge we face during the organisation of blood donation sessions is the limited number of generous volunteers who are willing to donate blood. Most of the communities are still ignorant about the advantages of donating blood.
