A Small Act with a Big Impact: Stories of Blood Donors

For quite some time, the crisis for blood in our country has been growing despite many social media platforms working as a linking hub for blood donating and receiving. Why so? Firstly, many donors are unaware of the demand for blood. And secondly, it's not feasible for them to participate in every social media group. So, we attempted to develop a blood donation website to connect blood searchers with donors, so that donation can be done effortlessly in the fastest possible time.

Let's talk about our blood donations, our personal experiences and the consequences of frequent blood donations.

History of Blood Donors and Blood Donation in Bangladesh

Every day, hundreds of lives are saved because of voluntary blood donation, which is one of the most honorable humanitarian acts you can take part in.

There are many people who voluntarily wish to donate blood in Bangladesh. But unfortunately, they are unable to contribute due to a communication gap with blood donors. Also, our country is mostly dependent on replacement blood donors. Blood donors who only provide blood in an emergency for a member of their own family, or a close relative, are known as relative or replacement donors. Things to remember, taking blood from close relatives is dangerous to health.

A report on ‘Voluntary blood donation in Bangladesh’ states that just around 40% of the estimated 2.5 million blood units needed in Bangladesh per year are met by blood donors already on hand. Whereas, replacement donors make up the majority (around 85%) of the country's blood supply. Bangladesh is still hugely dependent on their close acquaintance for blood required during emergency cases.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHFW) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have suggested that the practice of replacement blood donation be gradually shifted to regular blood donation in Bangladesh and the replacement donors should be encouraged to become regular unpaid voluntary blood donors.

Due to the lack of voluntary blood donation in Bangladesh, blood seekers have to manage blood from professional blood donors. Lack of information and communication is the main cause of difficulty and unavailability of blood in our country. Besides, many unauthorized blood banks have sprouted up to take advantage of the rising blood demand, hindering safe blood transfusions and raising the danger of numerous infections.

Developing relationships with blood donors and recipients can make managing blood easier, and blood transfusion safer, which is what our internet-based platform is all about.

If we talk about all social media and online-based blood donation, they are a blessing in this aspect because they enable thousands of willing donors to be notified of an emergency in a matter of seconds. Several organizations and social media-based blood donation groups, including One Minute Help, have been active recently around the nation in the subject of voluntary blood donation. The management of blood donors has become easier for patients and their loved ones thanks to these internet platforms.

Even while the number of blood donors is growing, there is still a considerable shortage of blood. Your donation might help someone, make a difference, or just make you feel good about helping people. Whatever your motivation, One Minute Help is there to always help you.
