5. Saving patients' life by means of blood is noble
deeds
for blood donors Health Minister attends Blood
Donors Day
Yangon, 14 Dec - The 26th Blood Donors Day was held in
conjunction with the ceremony to honour the blood
donors at the meeting hall of Institute of Nursing
(Yangon) on Bogyoke Aung San Street here this morning
with an address by Minister for Health Maj-Gen Ket
Sein and Minister at the State Peace and Development
Council Chairman's Office Brig-Gen Abel.
In his address, Minister Maj-Gen Ket Sein said that
the Ministry of Health has been making efforts for
better medical treatment, uplift of the health
standard, diagnosis and rehabilitation. In doing so,
it has been providing the qualified staff, equipment
and health facilities to modernize treatment, blood
transfusion and blood banks, he stressed.
Now, blood transfusion has been conducted after
categorizing the kind of blood with the use of modern
medical equipment. In the process, no matter how the
modern techniques have developed, the blood cannot be
made. Thus, blood can be assumed as life since it is a
crucial part of the body, he said. Blood is an
important element for a patient who needs blood
transfusion and donation of blood amounts to donation
of life. And donation of blood is the most difficult
task.
In the blood transfusion history in Myanmar, he said,
the blood bank was opened in Yangon General Hospital
in 1939. At that time, the system of buying blood had
been practiced. But in 1962, the system was changed
into the wellwishers' blood donating system, which is
in conformity with the Myanmar people, who are
generous. Then, the National Blood Bank emerges and
the blood bank undertakings were boosted.
The ministry has laid down the national health plan
(2001-2006) and is implementing it with the aim of
lifting up the national health standard. Accordingly,
systematic efforts are being made for acquisition of
purified blood and ensuring systematic blood
transfusion. Nowadays, there occur diseases such as
HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, syphilis and malaria that are
infectious through blood.
According to charts and records, blood from donors is
safer than that from those who sold their blood. This
being so, blood donors are urged to maintain and keep
their blood purified and donate it quarterly. In
addition, the blood donors are also urged to organize
their friends and relatives to become blood donors.
He said that it was a great pleasure to see those who
made cash and kind donations, those rendered necessary
assistance to ensure smooth blood bank undertakings
for organizing the ceremony to honour blood donors at
one place.
With an increase in the number of blood donors year by
year, there are 459 blood donors who had donated blood
over 50 times and 15 blood donors who had donated
blood 100 times. At the same time, owing to
loving-kindness of the wellwishers, more and more
gifts can be presented to the blood donors.
This year, the Government presented medals for
outstanding performance in social field (first grade)
to 23 blood donors, medals for outstanding performance
in social field (second grade) to 35 blood donors and
medals for outstanding performance in social field
(third grade) to 62 blood donors.
It is due to efforts of USDA members, members of
Myanmar Maternal and Child Welfare Association,
Myanmar Red Cross Society, Myitta Byuha Association,
Mingalar Byuha Association, Myanmar Fire Training
School and other religious and social organizations.
In conclusion, he said that the Ministry of Health
thanked the blood donors and those who provided
necessary assistance for organizing the ceremony to
honour the blood donors and called on the blood donors
to try their best to maintain their blood clean and
purified. He wished the blood donors could donate
their blood up to over 100 times and the wellwishers
could make more and more donations.
The State has drafted the law on blood and blood
element and measures are being taken for systematic
use of the blood. Saving the patients' life by means
of blood is noble deeds, he noted.
Then, Minister Maj-Gen Ket Sein accepted donations in
honour of the blood donors day. The donations included
K 800,000 by Myanmar Red Cross Society, K 700,000 by
Lion Myanmar Co, K 500,000 by Europe Continent Co, K
300,000 by Myitta Iotech Co, K 300,000 by Shine Hope
Co and K 300,000 by Turumbo Co.
Next, Director-General Dr Hla Pe of Health Department
accepted the donations which included K 210,000 by
JV-7 Kanthaya Hospital, K 120,000 by medical wards of
YGH, K 100,090 by Sandhi Traditional Medicines, K
100,000 by the Chairman of Yangon City Development
Committee, K 100,000 by AMT Trading Co, K 30,000 by
Jivitadana Sangha Hospital, K 15,000 by Yangon Eastern
Hospital, K 10,000 by Maung Theik Kaung and K 10,000
by Yangon Children Hospital.
After accepting the donations, Minister for Health
Maj-Gen Ket Sein and the director-general presented

Minister Maj-Gen Ket Sein presented shields and a
bicycle each to 12 blood donors who donated blood 100
