LGU-Sogod To Establish Blood Donor Program
By Quirico M. Gorpido,Jr.
Maasin City, Southern Leyte-The local government of Sogod town will be going to establish a blood donor program in every barangay of the municipality.
The municipal ordinance no.2010-36 which was sent to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for deliberation and approval by its members was prompted by many instances wherein blood donors in the area, particularly in time of emergency, were hard to find.
This would particularly happen when admitted patient or patients at the hospital, after the doctor’s examination, needed blood transfusions, but could not get right away due to the non-availability or scarcity of blood supply in the area.
Another reason why Sogod-SB members promulgated the aforesaid ordinance is to inform the people and become aware on the hazardous cause of buying commercial blood without proper screening of its composition by an assigned medical technologist.
On the other hand, SP member Abelardo Almario of District 2 of which Sogod is under his jurisdiction has found no legal obstacle to Sogod’s endorsed ordinance that will hinder for its approval.
With the motion of Almario and seconded by Albert Esclamado, the abovementioned ordinance was unanimously approved and declared “operational in its entirety”.
Still other reasons for the enactment of the approved ordinance are: to promote health, to provide safe, adequate and affordable supply of blood in every barangay, to encourage voluntary blood donations by the cititzenry, and to instill public consciousness on the principle of donating blood.
The second Sogod ordinance no.2010-37 which was also endorsed to SP during its recent weekly session for deliberation and evaluation was also approved.
The said ordinance has required all government and private establishments or agencies, offices of different associations and schools to have a “safety officer/trained first aider”.
This is for the purpose of having persons trained and certified as qualified to administer first aid by the Philippine National Red Cross or by any organization accredited to train on “first aid”.(Quirico M. Gorpido,Jr.)
