by David M. Suyao

AGUSAN DEL SUR, Aug. 26 (PIA) -
Three major awards were recently received by three major players in the implementation of health and blood programs in the province.

This was in appreciation for achieving the goal in improving health of the Agusanons such as pushing health care reforms, empowering quality assurance and making health services affordable, accessible and available for all.

A plaque of appreciation signed by Dr. Leonita Gorgolon, regional director of the Department of Health, Caraga Region, was awarded to Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza for extending all out “Support for the National Voluntary Blood Program” while Julie Lapides, a medical technologist of the Philippine Red Cross, Agusan del Sur Chapter (PRC-AdS) was awarded for her dedication to “Regular Mobile Blood Donations” province-wide. Cristylle Basan, PRC-AdS administrator, also received plaque of appreciation for “Best Blood Station 2010” and “Good Networking with Other Facilities”.

Agusan del Sur is unique in dealing with the blood program, compared to other provinces and cities nation-wide. Last year, the provincial government set aside P1.5 Million, plus P800,00 supplementary funds to shoulder the re-agents that cost of P1,500 per sample testing, to ensure that the blood extracted from donors are free from any diseases. Last year, the provincial government has released some P2.3 million for the re-agents alone. The 13 municipal government and the lone city of Bayugan also share P50,000 every year to shoulder the fuel and oil and other travelling expenses of the team for the mobile blood donations province-wide.

This year, the provincial government increased the budget for blood program from P1.5 Million last year to P2.3 Million this year. To date, the PRC-AdS has already billed the provincial government for the re-agents the amount of P2.18 Million. The Provincial Blood Coordinating Council will meet on August 26 in order to discuss the request for supplementary budget from the provincial government to address the financial need for the re-agents until the end of this year, 2011.

To date, the Provincial Blood Coordinating Council, thru the PRC – AdS and the Provincial Health Office have collected 1,563 bags of blood, some 67 percent against the annual target of 2,300 bags. (PIA-Agusan del Sur)
