Bangalore: Many years ago, a person's death due to unavailability of blood stirred the conscience of four engineering students. The quartet resolved to ensure that no one died due to shortage of blood.
Last month we looked into various aspects on definition of an adverse event. Steps to help in grading of severity and categorisation of the complication was laid out in detail.
Sankalp India Foundation is committed to improving the access to care and management for the children suffering from thalassemia. In order to ensure that each child walking into one of the centers supported by us gets adequate (if not at par with the best) care and management, we constantly strive to find solution to the most pressing problems of the management of this disorder.
Sankalp India Foundation(S.I.F.) has been working for voluntary blood donation since 2003. Since 2011 S.I.F. has also taken up the cause of thalassemia management and cure.
The last edition of the Patrika laid the prelude to understanding and handling adverse events in outdoor voluntary blood donation drives.
Let us see what January had in store for us at Sankalp.
