25k just for the month of April not all through the pandemic

Gap2020:
. They're not greedy. When the leaders are not ready to give the necessary support but keep politicising their lives instead of taking prompt actions. Lagos governor increased the health workers allowance from 5k to 25k during this pandemic but we are yet to hear any development from Ganduje.

Good morning ma'am.. Please can you send the format to me too. Crystalelle18@yahoo.com. Thanks

Pcv of 36% is okay and thus do not require transfusion. And the outcome of delivery can't be ascertain during antenatal anything like PPH can pop up so one has to prepare hence the donation.. So if it isn't used just act you donated as an act of humanitarian service cos it's isn't sold. I am sure what you paid for is grouping and crossmatching.

I paid and was led to donate. I did donate a pint of blood. I was told that it will be used for the donee. The donee's blood level was 36% after delivery and needed the blood but the donee was not given any. My take here is: if you will not use the blood later, do not demand it as a criterion for giving birth. The hospital should ascertain a particular level of blood a woman should have before delivery. If the level is not reached, the blood donor should be told to donate one. It is a scam to demand blood which apriori you know you will not use for the donee later. And there is no guaranty that I will be given the pint freely if I later return to the hospital in need of blood.

Then you have every right to create a scene for this. No scientist in a govt hosp has any right to ask you to buy blood. If it's legal you will pay the money to the cashier but
I bet they collected cash from you from the lab cos it's illegal. Next time blood is not sold in govt jospquote author=peacefulhome post=87156281]

I put it to you that they sale blood. I was given an option to either bring three donors or I pay for the required blood. I later paid. So tell me where did they get the blood they sold to me? If they do not sale blood, they I should have just pay for screening and nothing more.[/quote]

It wasn't given because there wasn't need for it and like I said the 7k you paid was for grouping and crossmatching. To know if your blood level is within range for you to donate and to be sure it's free from all transmissable infections. Since she didn't use the blood it can't be given back cos it's of no use to you. They give to someone in dire need of it and person looks for another donor to replace so the blood bank won't be empty. If you are to buy blood in a private owned lab it's nothing less than 22k

Mopolchi:
I donated blood and paid 7000 and no blood was given to the donee on the delivery day and after. 100% certain of the experience.

If you donate in a govt owned blood bank the people in need collects it's free and in return look for someone to donate it back the only money they pay is for grouping and crossmatching, but if you donate in a private blood bank please collect your money cos they will sell.

gaskiyamagana:
Hello, if we donate freely, is it going to be given free or with little charge? I only ask d question I know it is still d same whether you buy or donate. That is d only reason people are care free. You collect freely and you sold it at #10 000!

Ma'am the 7k you paid is for the Lab scientist to screen the blood and to know if you are fit for the donation some have low PCV. Both yours and the patient. If they don't screen the blood means we would have lots of infected blood in the bank. Gen hosp do not sell blood they only give the blood out and the patient inturn look for someone to donate back only private blood banks sells blood because the pay people who donate.

Mopolchi:
It happened to me at General Hospital, Gbagada.

No ma'am General Hosp do not sell blood.. What they do is when one is in need for the blood they give it out if the blood type is available and the patient looks for someone to donate the blood back.. Only private blood banks sell blood because they pay the people that donate.

I donated blood for my sister during delivery.fortunately for us, she put to bed safely and they ended up not using the blood for her.My pain then was that I gave it as a free will donation but it's so painful that the hospital will end up selling the blood & if care isn't taken, it might be sold to someone that has to go borrowing to pay.Pls what is donated free should be give ad free to people in need of it.
