June 14th is the World Blood Donor Day, the theme in 2018 is “Give blood to others and share life.” In order to response to this meaningful day, our team members decided to take place in some voluntary activities, so we chose to go to the local blood donation bus just near the Quancheng Square in Shandong Province.
We went there on that day. Although there are many people on the square, there were only few people in the blood donation bus. After asked the staffs working there, we started to work. Our job was simple, just taught the donors how to fill the form before donation, recorded the donor’s information in the computer and put the blood bags in the fridge, etc.
Not only we helped a lot, but also learnt that there are some detections must be performed before the blood donation. They are as follow:
- Blood type of the donor
- Hemoglobin quantity
- ALT detection
- Markers of HBV and Treponema pallidum
These detections are really important, if one of these items is not qualified, the donor cannot take part in the blood donation. And these detections are just a primary detection, the blood need to be sent to the blood center to perform further detections.
But now the question is there is a problem called “window period”, and the detections taken in blood center cannot detect the varies like HCV, HIV in the window period, which is very dangerous. So, we decided the method to find the way to shorten the window period as our project.
Our team members went to the blood donation bus again at summer holiday and we also acquired some questionnaires regarding the knowledge of blood donation. It was upset that there were still a few people at the bus during the holiday. We went to the local book store near the square and science museum to give out the questionnaires.
