Mo, Kinabuhi Ko ? It is a non-profit undertaking
whose main objective is to guide the people in searching for a certain blood-type for their love ones who are
in dire need of blood.
Known Cebu institutions such as DYAB-Abante Bisaya of ABS-CBN, Philippine
National Red Cross, various concerned government agencies and different
public and private hospitals in the city are constantly conducting their
regular blood letting activities every other three months.
The response of the public to these various blood letting activities conducted is overwhelming. Rain or
shine, concerned citizens trooped to the different designated blood letting
sites for them to donate their blood.
Our instituion, Matias H Aznar Memorial
College of Medicince, Inc., also wants to participate in this noble
undertaking by sharing our talents and resources. So, the school has decided
to create a Donors-Database-Server
with the sole purpose of storing the donors-data gathered during the blood letting activity.
This way the donors masterlisting will be recorded in electronic format.

Why Donate Blood?
Blood donation is truly a "gift of life" that a healthy individual can
give to others who are sick or injured in the community. In one hour's
time, a person can donate one unit of blood that can be separated into
four individual components that could help save multiple lives.
From one unit of blood, red blood cells can be extracted for use in trauma
or surgical patients. Plasma, the liquid part of blood, is administered
to patients with clotting problems. The third component of blood, platelets,
clot the blood when cuts or other open wounds occur, and are often used
in cancer and transplant patients. Cryoprecipitated anti-hemophilic factor
(AHF) is also used for clotting factors
Every three seconds, someone needs a blood
transfusion!
20 percent of recipients are children
– many are cancer patients!
Giving blood is 100 percent safe!
One pint of blood from one donor can save
up to three lives!
It’s about life.
Donating will not cost you money.
