Jakarta (B2B) - Persediaan darah di wilayah DKI Jakarta pasca-Lebaran masih di bawah normal. Berdasarkan data yang dicatat Unit Transfusi Darah Palang Merah Indonesia Pusat (UTDP PMI) jumlah pasokan darah per hari normalnya mencapai 1.300 hingga 1.500 kantong.
Kepala Bidang Penyediaan Darah UTDP PMI dr Ulfa Suryani mengatakan, pasokan darah di DKI masih tergolong sedikit bahkan kurang. Dan ini terjadi untuk semua golongan darah. Hingga H+4 Lebaran jumlah pasokan darah hanya mencapai 400 hingga 600 kantong per hari.
"Kalau pada saat puasa kemarin pasokan golongan darah O dan B dinyatakan menumpuk, saat ini kondisinya mulai stabil. Sementara itu kita masih kekurangan pasokan golongan darah A dan AB," jelas Ulfa.
Ulfa menjelaskan bahwa minimnya pasokan darah pasca Lebaran bisa jadi disebabkan oleh sedikitnya mobil unit PMI yang beroperasi.
Saat Lebaran, hanya tersedia lima Mobil Unit PMI yang baru beroperasi. Dari lima mobil tersebut pemasukan pasokan darah diperkirakan hanya sekitar seratus kantong per hari.
Jakarta (B2B) - The blood stock in Jakarta is inadequate four days after the Idul Fitri Muslim festivities. Normally, the blood supply reaches 1,300 to 1,500 pouches per day, but currently the supply is only 400 to 600 pouches per day.
The Head of the blood supply section of the Red Cross, dr Ulfa Suryani said the blood supply in Jakarta is categorized as very few. It`s even inadequate. It applies in all types of blood.
"During the fasting month of Ramadan, we had abundant stock of O and B type blood, and now the stock is stable. But, we now run out of blood of A and AB types," she said.
She explained, the decrease in the blood supply is mainly because the number of PMI`s blood transfusion cars which are in operation, also drops.
Currently the Red Cross only operates five cars to collect blood from donors. The five cars could only collect around 100 blood pouches per day.
