HOW TO ORGANIZE BLOOD DONATION CAMP

Blood donation camps are held all over our state frequently. These camps are operated in a set pattern of activities. At first, camps are set up. Then the names of the donors are enlisted. Next, the blood group of the donor is tested. When the group is tested, the donor is told to lie on a bed. Then his veins are compressed with a thick rubber band by doctor. After this, the skin of the donor is cleaned with ether and a needle is inserted into the vein. The blood comes through a rubber tube and it is collected in a sterilized bottle or polythene bag. Later, it is labelled properly and kept in a refrigerator. Finally, the collected blood is sent to blood bank and stored there for use when blood is needed for ill person.
