Since the onset of the pandemic, there is a tremendous strain on healthcare including blood transfusion services. Patients suffering from chronic blood disorders like Thalassemia, cancers, pregnant women during childbirth etc. require blood transfusion. But, as the pandemic continues and dengue hits, the struggle for getting access to safe blood has become worse.

Let us see what May had in store for us at Sankalp.

The average pre-transfusion hemoglobin was 8.3gm/dl and the estimated post transfusion hemoglobin was 12.1 gm/dl. At Samraksha we had 164 patient visits with 205 transfusions. The average pre-transfusion hemoglobin was 8.7gm/dl while the estimated post transfusion hemoglobin was 12.3 gm/dl.

There was a time when we at Sankalp considered September and October has months of relatively less workload, however as you will see, now each team is fully occupied serving their mission objectives all year round. Let’s see what happened in the month of September 2014.

The month of September saw 16 blood donation camps being organized and 982 units of blood collected. 1299 people participated in these events.
