The problem of patients suffering due to lack of blood supply at the Karnali Institute of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital, Jumla, is about to be eliminated.
Earlier, patients had to struggle due to blood shortage. The Kuruwa residents, who were facing problems in finding blood to give to their patients, are happy that the blood bank will be opened within a few days. They are excited that the patients will easily get the blood they need.
Local Birs Bahadur Thapa shared his experience of finding blood and seeing the risk of complications for patients. He said, "First, the blood group had to be known. Blood had to be sought according to the doctor's advice. We had to go to the army and police. For those who do not have any, blood is a big problem. Now, even if the blood bank is started, there is a belief that this problem will be resolved."
The machine required for the blood bank has reached the hospital and been installed. The institute has also purchased the materials required to run the machine. Dr. Pujan Rokaya, Vice Chancellor of Karnali Institute of Health Sciences, said that all the necessary equipment for donating blood and sealing blood has been received. He said, ‘Now patients will not have a problem finding blood, but people who donate blood are needed.’
The machine required to establish the blood bank has been provided by the America Nepal Medical Foundation. Vice Chancellor Dr. Rokaya said, ‘Now as much blood as possible is needed. The machine will make all the thin, thick, white blood that the patient needs. The hospital will decide in what form the blood will be taken.’
Many people are not willing to donate blood now. Only students of the institution, hospital employees and health workers, and the Nepali Army have been donating. Since blood can be stored in the blood bank for a month, regular blood donations are also required. Even now, the institution has a refrigerator that can hold more than two hundred packs of blood.
Patients do not have to give that much blood now, but people are being kept ready to give blood to most patients. Vice Chancellor Dr. Rokaya said, "Now, instead of distributing fruits to the sick during gatherings and festivals, it seems that awareness should be spread that blood donation is necessary."
The foundation has been sending tokens of love to the Nepali Army's battalions and brigades since its establishment, saying that it has supported blood donation.
