Foreigners are invited to donate rare blood at PMI Bali
by Luh De Suriyani on 2013-02-23
The blood donor unit at the Bali chapter of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI)
is inviting foreigners, who have negative blood types, to donate their
blood in order to maintain the blood bank's supply of rare rhesus blood.
The director of PMI Bali's blood donor unit, AAG Sudewa, said that Bali was
the only province in Indonesia that had a supply of rare blood at its
headquarters in the Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar.
"Other provinces, like Jakarta and Surabaya, usually contact PMI Bali when
they need rare types of blood, particularly for foreign patients," said
Sudewa in Denpasar on Friday. Only 0.01 percent of Indonesia's total
population has negative rhesus blood. Indonesian patients with negative
rhesus find it difficult to find donor matches. Most negative rhesus blood
types are found among foreigners.
For the database of rare blood donors, PMI Bali has established a network
with an association of rare blood-type donors, whose members are mostly
foreign nationals working in Bali. Sudewa intends to hold a meeting with
the association to improve the blood donation mechanism.
"But we also need to have some ready stock, so that we don't have to call
future donors, and pick the first person, especially when an emergency case
occurs," said Sudewa, adding that he would also seek assistance from the
immigration office and hotels to announce PMI Bali's appeal for more
foreigners with negative rhesus to donate blood.
"The donors who intend to donate their negative rhesus blood can call their
hotel reception personnel, who will contact PMI Bali. Our team of medical
personnel equipped with blood donor equipment are ready to go to the
donors' locations to perform the procedure," said Sudewa.
Sudewa emphasized that a ready supply of blood was vital, not only for
locals but also for foreign patients in Bali. The island has a ready supply
of blood to last five days, while other provinces usually only have a
three-day supply.
In Bali, around 100 bags of blood are used every day. The blood is obtained
from volunteer donors and replacement donors who are usually related to the
patients in need.
The blood supply at the PMI Bali headquarters at Sanglah hospital is now
sufficient for February, thanks to the volunteer blood drive held recently
on Valentine's Day. As of Feb. 22, PMI Bali recorded a supply of almost 500
bags of donor blood, comprising 265 bags of blood-type O, 166 bags of type
B, and 125 bags of type A.
However, Sudewa acknowledged that many people still sought advice from
substitute donors via social media sites because many of them were
panicking and had not checked the blood supply at PMI Bali.
"They were in a panic and were not aware that we had ready supplies," he
said.
Cok Agung Kurniawan, one of the medical officers who monitors blood donors,
said social media sites served as an effective way to seek substitute
donors.
He himself manages the Facebook account for PMI Bali's blood donor
unit. "The status of PMI Bali's blood-stock levels can be checked via our
Facebook account," said Cok, adding that Facebook was also an effective way
to attract new donors.
