Rotary Club of Margao Midtown - Global Grant Project Proposal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setting up "Blood Bank" and a Thalassemia Day Care Center at Hospicio Hospital - the Govt Dist Hospital
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Area of Focus: Disease Prevention & Treatment
Location: City: Margao State: Goa Country: India
District: 3170 Club No.: 52186
Cost of the project: $ 100000
Objective/s of the project:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The district of South Goa with a population of over 3 million does not have a modern blood bank causing great hardships to those in need of blood during medical emergencies as one has to travel anywhere between 30 to 60 mins to get whole blood or blood components as the need may be. The thalassemia patients donot have a facility for their regular transfusions.
Hence the need to set up a new facility of Blood Bank and a Thalassemia day care centre was felt. This blood bank will need to be equipped with state of the art equipment to process collected blood into required components for use of patients within and outside the hospital and all over the district.
Beneficiaries of the project:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the patients in the hospital admitted for surgeries or trauma treatment usually require blood to varying extent. The hospital provides treatment and services free of cost. While the most patients will be charged to recover the processing costs and a little more, patients below poverty line will be cross-subsidized to offer blood components free of cost.The blood Bank will benefit the entire population of over 3 million and the direct beneficiaries will be thousands of patients that avail of the services of the District Hospital - Hospicio Hospital
Schedule of Execution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Detailed plan of setting up the new blood Bank has been prepared. It is expected that financial closure of this project will take place by March 2015. Equipment will be ordered during April - May 2015. Deliveries and installation of the equipment will take place during June-July 2015. The Blood Bank will be fully operational by August 2015.
Planning, installation and implementation of the project will be monitored and reviewed by the Execution Committee of the Club. Further operation of the Bank will be reviewed on quarterly basis by a Standing Committee of the Club, which would be reformulated every year. The Committee will report to the Board on a quarterly basis.
Our Club and the District Hospital authorities will work out targets for collection of blood and methods of measurement of performance, including benefits to weaker sections of the society.
Scope of the project:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hospital has a primitive blood storage facility and area to install all the new equipment. While utilizing the existing equipment, following new equipment, estimated to cost around Rupees 6 million ($ 100,000) will be installed to take the capacity to process 30,000 bags of blood every year.
