@MatiaK5 Hon Matia Kasaija thanks for the exemplary leadership, you have always supported blood bank to carry out blood donation drives. Thank you for being patriotic and a great partner in saving life.
@mkainerugaba This is very true, for us working in blood bank we believe that despite the covid19 challenge at the moment Uganda is one family and things are getting better every new day. General its my prayer that i will meet you in person someday, God bless you.
@RebeccaKadagaUG Factors contributing to blood shortage:-
-Lockdown of Schools.
-High demand of blood for transfusion.
-High number of potential donors who fail to meet donation criteria.
-Lack of skilled health workers in most facilities to prescribe blood.
-Limited resources at UBTS.
-etc.
@RebeccaKadagaUG The Kamuli health team including the DHO wanted UBTS to pay them for mobilization of blood donors yet the have even failed to reprimand their health workers whom the community claims to be selling them blood that they receive at no cost from UBTS.
@RebeccaKadagaUG Let every Mp mobilize his/her community to donate blood and where possible act patriotically by donating at least 1,000,000/= to facilitate blood collection and testing/screening. We were in Kamuli but the targets were not met despite Hon Kantale Kazungu's intervention.
@RebeccaKadagaUG This is a great move, we also need ample resources for UBTS front line staff especially PPEs, facilitation during blood collection upcountry camps, blood donor presents t-shirts, enhanced after donation refreshments for blood donors. Also UBTS urgently needs vehicles.
@Karooro_Okurut , Gd evening Hon; I work with UBTS as a Clinical Team Leader and I would like to know whether covid19 task force is in position to support us with food rations for those who donate blood to enable them to supplement their feeding,0782733206. God bless you.
@RebeccaKadagaUG The Executive and Judiciary are just selfish ; our Parliamentarians even need more money (100M) each. Our parliamentarians have been so supportive to Ugandans(bought ambulances for almost every constituency, availed scholarships to the poor and attended to so domestic challenges)
