Re: Blood Business and HIV

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

The only answer to this menace is promotion of voluantry blood donation

movmeent. In the scenario of few voluantry donors and poor enforcement of ban on

commercial donation, this situation is really precarious.

Dsipelling myths and misconceptions on blood donation, mass awarnees drives with

health focus on know your blood group and Hb level, with free threapeutic

options for those found anemic is the only ethical way to make people feel

comfortable on this issue.

We often see healthy people shying away from donating blood even to near and

dear, and inclined to pay or pressurise the blood bank staff to arrange blood.

We use the concept of Temple+Bank to communicate to them. When we put our assets

in a bank, we can get them back, and the reserves can be used for loaning to

all; In case of a temple when we donate, we dont expect to get it back, but

altuistic benefits. similary we need to donate in blood banks and the social

secuiry genrated out of a good reserve pool could come useful

some day.

Rajesh.
