Taking Disha across Karnataka is an activity that will take some time to materialise. Sankalp however, has made a firm and sedate start to this activity. Phase 1 of the expansion plan is to visit the major medical hubs across Karnataka and understand the ground realities that exist there. With this idea in mind, a Sankalp team left for the coastal belt of Mangalore, Udupi and Manipal following it up with a visit to Mysore.
Sankalp's brainchild, Disha, which makes sure to network all major blood banks across Bangalore city with a single toll free helpline, i.e., 1062 was started off close to 3 years ago. With massive publicity campaigns and dogmatic acclimatisation to laid down policies and ideas, the helpline today has become indespensable for Bangalore city. Everyday 17 blood banks from across the city update their stocks and any person looking for blood just dials this single helpline number to get to know where the unit of blood is available.
After the blood bank meet, lots of changes were to be made in the working of CTC Disha, we had an elaborate discussion with CTC management about bringing out these new changes.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Frost would have never thought that these four lines will inspire millions. And it has been no ordinary inspiration- It has been an inspiration of life, of humanity and of all the awesome things that God choose to bestow upon the human race.
We have been working around the clock to build a good blood banking or networking system. It isn't just words that we utter, we strive to live every word we promise.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
