In compliance with Republic Act 7719 or the National Blood Services Act, the City Health Office (CHO) of Victorias is conducting the Voluntary Blood Letting Activity on all of its barangays from February to November.
The blood letting activity is spearheaded by the CHO of Victorias in collaboration with Provincial Health Office and Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City.
This has been an ongoing service and has even awarded four barangays as Sandugo Awardees and acclaimed Brgy. XIII as Hall of Famer in the blood letting campaign.
National Voluntary Blood Services Program Medical Coordinator Dr. Jerry Pahamtang along with Medical Technologist Coordinator Florence Bravo, Nurse I Jasmine Sudario, and Administrative Officer II/HEPO Designate April Golda Acuña are the persons in-charge of the activity in the CHO.
The activity targets blood donors to reach at least one percent of the City’s total population composed of healthy male and female whose ages are 16 – 65 and weighs at least 50 kilos.
Blood donors are being screened by the doctors, nurses, midwives and other health personnel before conducting the actual blood extraction, making sure that they are qualified.
