Donation to Katha District Hospital

The following brief report is based on information from Doctor Hla Tun, who also supplied the photograph.

During the 'Road to Mandalay' second Bhamo Cruise in 2013, a donation of 80 sets of Blood Bottles and Blood Sets was made to Katha District Hospital. These are used for collecting blood from blood donors at the hospital. The blood is used for transfusions during emergency surgical operations or emergency situations involving profuse bleeding.

This was the second occasion on which donations of Blood Bottles and Blood Sets have been made to the hospital.

On 14th September, during the third Bhamo Cruise in 2013, a further donation of 48 sets of Blood Bottles and Blood Sets was made to the hospital. That was third donation of Blood Bottles and Blood Sets to the Hospital, bringing the total number of Blood Bottles donated to 128.

I've not visited the Katha District Hospital but I've been to Katha in 2010 and 2012. My reports are here (for 2010) and here (for 2012).
