On 27th of July, ALAM organised a campaign known as QHSSE Day to create awareness about safety life and importance of it.Its a annual campaign organised by ALAM on every July of the year. One of the event which was held on that day is blood donation campaign.ALAM seeds including cadets, lecturers, and staffs participated voluntarily in the campaign.
Few procedures:
When You ArriveSign-in. Be prepared to show your IC.
Have a seat and fill out a donor registration form, which includes your name, address, phone number, and other information.
Your Pre-donation Screening
A staff member will ask you some questions about your health, lifestyle, and disease risk factors. All of this information is confidential. A staff member will perform a short health exam or "mini physical." It involves taking your pulse, temperature, and blood pressure.
The health exam includes a finger prick, taking a drop of blood and testing it to see if your blood iron level (Hematocrit; the ratio of red blood cells) is sufficient for you to donate. (All medical equipment used for this test, and during the donation process, is sterile, used only once and then disposed).
Ready to Donate
If all your screening meets requirements, you will be directed to a donor bed in the donor room.
A phlebotomist will clean your arm with an antiseptic and use a blood donation kit to draw blood from a vein in your arm.
You will donate one unit of blood (about one pint). This takes about six to ten minutes.
After removing the needle the phlebotomist will have you elevate your donation arm and apply slight pressure to promote clotting.
