A young man rushed from Birbhum to Kolkata in need of blood of a very rare group for a 21-year-old pregnant mother
Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency, Kolkata: Semi Khatun, a 21-year-old pregnant woman from Argun village in Ketugram district, is undergoing treatment at Burdwan Hospital due to anemia. But the problem is that she is a carrier of the rarest blood type, O H. And that is why the pregnant woman was transferred from Burdwan to NRS Hospital in Kolkata. The patient's family members are facing great problems in collecting blood of that group.
Nurul Haque, District Secretary of Birbhum Voluntary Blood Donors Association, said that as soon as he heard about the matter, he immediately contacted Sabuj Bibi, the Executive Director of the Women and Children Welfare Department of the Panchayat Samiti of Ketugram area. She also took the responsibility on her shoulders as a public representative after hearing the news. She went to NRS Hospital to lobby for the patient. Meanwhile, according to hospital sources, the pregnant mother's hemoglobin level has dropped to close to 3, which is alarming. On the other hand, the search for the extremely rare Bombay group blood continues. It is very difficult to get blood from this group. According to the health department, there are about 80 people in the state who are carriers of this blood type. For now, one unit of blood is collected from two blood banks and Ghatal in Kolkata and administered for the patient. But even then, two units of blood were urgently needed. In that situation, Nurul Haque contacted a blood donor from the Bombay group in Birbhum. Although he is a truck driver by profession, he stopped working due to the situation and rushed to Kolkata at night. Dipankar Mitra of the Kolkata Blood Donors Association said that he was waiting for the great young man who came to help him after seeing his source of income and income stopped, to take him to the hospital. The young man came at the right time and went to the hospital at night to donate blood. Although the patient is unknown, he rushed here only because of the need for the rarest blood. The statement of the young man who went to donate blood from Birbhum - If someone's life is saved with my blood, I have no fatigue for it. This is joy, this is achievement, people's love and blessings are desirable.
