… The success story of the Good Samaritan ProgrammePull Quote: “It is a selfless opportunity to make a difference in another person’s life. This way you are helping to ensure that adequate amounts of blood are always available at the hospitals in case you, your family or any other person should be in a situation where blood is needed to save your life…I will continue to donate blood until I die.” – David DewarWith the establishment of the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS), over the last 21 years Guyana has done a remarkable job in providing safe blood to Guyanese in a timely manner, even in the face of many challenges,Cheap NFL Jerseys, chief among which is the constant motivation of Guyanese towards 100% voluntary donation.This has been an uphill task, especially against the backdrop that the method of donation prior to the early 1990s hinged solely on family replacement, but the fact that 80% of the blood presently collected by the NBTS is through voluntary donation, is a success story.This achievement is of even more significance since less than 20% of the countries around the world have attained 100% voluntary donation, even though it has been unequivocally demonstrated that the risks to a safe blood supply are significantly reduced when donation is voluntary.Indeed, Guyana has defied the belief that the Caribbean culture is not one of voluntarily donation of blood.“We in Guyana have established a new tradition where schools, businesses and a lot of other entities have established blood donation as their special contribution to the development of the country and that is reason to celebrate… Just a few years ago many said this was an unachievable target because there did not exist a culture in the Caribbean of voluntarily donating blood, but we have developed our own culture of giving blood,” Health Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy said.The total amount of units recruited in 1997 was 2000, of which 8% was voluntarily, in 2000 it was 3,345, of which 21% were voluntary and a whopping 79% as a result of family replacement. Last year, of the 7,738 units collected by the blood bank, 79% were from voluntary donors and 21% from family replacement: representation of a full metamorphosis.“It is a phenomenal success story,” Minister Ramsammy said.He believes that the goal of attaining 100% voluntary donation by 2012 is within reach but reminded that this would require sustained efforts in existing partnerships, and the establishment of new ones to develop a network of voluntary donors in all areas.But while the NBTS has been meeting and surpassing its annual blood collection targets, and has increased its distribution significantly, the need for blood remains at a critical high most of the time and there are numerous instances where blood is not available for patients.“It is a selfless opportunity to make a difference in another person’s life.”Additionally, the daily buffer stock of 120 units has maintained its capacity quota for a long while.How is this possible?? Simply put it’s because of two main reasons; the rapid expansion of health services include the implementation of new surgeries as well as the increased frequency of routine surgeries and: the paradigm shift towards transfusing blood to avert crisis situations as opposed to waiting on a crisis to transfuse blood.“Complex surgeries such as Kidney transplant and open heart surgeries are being done on a regular basis at the GPHC now. Such surgeries require extremely large amounts of blood. This is in addition to the regular incidents which call for an increased need for blood such as caesarian sections, accidents and gunshot wounds and cancer patients on chemotherapy.”“Progress has been known to come with a price most times,NHL Ice Hockey Jerseys, and in this case it’s the need for more blood,” Minister Ramsammy noted.Meanwhile the fact that healthcare system now functions on a daily basis with a view towards transfusing blood to avert crisis situations in patients? rather than waiting until “a life and death” situation arises to transfuse blood as was the norm in the past, adds to the increased need for blood.“This means that blood is being transfused more often …we will not wait until someone is dying to give them blood.? We prefer to transfuse blood to them to keep them healthy … and that has actually contributed significantly to the increased demand for blood.”Less than two weeks ago eight persons were scheduled for open heart surgeries at the Caribbean Heart Institute .One hundred and four units of blood were urgently needed since the regular supply at the NBTS could not facilitate this.For the second time this year, an SOS for blood was sent out and Guyanese responded in their numbers.? Approximately 45 units were collected each day during the appeal as opposed to the daily 25 units. Thirty percent were first-time donors
