Habang patuloy ang mataas na temperatura, tumataas din ang panganib ng heat exhaustion at heat stroke—lalo na sa mga bata, matatanda, buntis, at mga nagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng araw.

📢 Paalala mula sa Bangui District Hospital – Public Health Unit: Ang pag-iwas ay susi sa kaligtasan. Alagaan ang sarili at ang pamilya laban sa matinding init!

Congratulations to Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center on the 10th anniversary of the Newborn Emergency Transport Service (NETS) — a decade of lifesaving journeys for the smallest and most vulnerable patients.

Your commitment to strengthening newborn emergency care has created a lifeline for many hospitals across the province. We at Bangui District Hospital are deeply grateful to be one of your partner institutions in this mission. Through NETS, countless newborns from our community have been given the chance to receive the specialized care they urgently need.

Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and continued collaboration in ensuring that no newborn is left behind when every minute matters.

Congratulations on 10 remarkable years, and we look forward to many more years of working together to save lives. 👶🚑💙

🩸 “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘿𝙤 𝙒𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙋𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚?” 🩸

A family member needs blood. You rush to the hospital. You call friends to donate. And then the hospital still charges you 1,800 per unit.

Why? It is a valid question, donors don’t earn from the donations but patients pay for it.

Are they profiting off kindness?

🛑 𝗡𝗼. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵:
You’re NOT paying for the blood.
You’re paying for the life-saving process that makes sure that blood won’t affect the person you’re trying to save.

💉 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵:
🔬 Screening tests - HIV, Hepatitis B/C, malaria, syphilis
⚙️ Component separation - red cells, plasma, platelets
🧊 Storage & refrigeration
👩‍⚕️ Staffing - med techs, nurses, logistics, admin

Screening?
To prevent the transmission of blood-transmitted diseases like HIV, Hepatitis and others.

Component separation?
For the use of consumable supplies for the separation of blood products into platelets, red cells, etc.

Storage and Refrigeration?
To maintain the viability of the blood products, because if not kept in certain conditions these blood products may EXPIRE.

Staffing?
All of these procedures required trained and paid professionals we pay for their expertise.

All of these cost money, ensuring that the blood that the patient is receiving is safe for use, because not all blood units are compatible with every patient, two people may have the same blood types but may not be compatible.

Under Republic Act 7719 and DOH AO 2015‑0045, the ₱1,800 cap ensures you’re only paying to recoup costs, not to profit.

✅ Bottom Line

The ₱1,800 you pay isn’t for the blood itself it’s for the safe, regulated process of transforming donated blood into a usable, life-saving medical product.

It covers testing, processing, safe storage, qualified personnel, and quality control, all essential to prevent infections and ensure compatibility.

✨ Bangui District Hospital Shines at the 2025 Bangui Holiday Light Up! ✨

We’re proud to win 2nd Place at the Bangui Lantern Contest! Our BDH family had so much fun designing the parol, crafting it from recycled hospital materials, and joining the parade together. 💚🎄

Our parol symbolizes hope, healing, and community strength. Painted X-ray films form its radiant cover, IV tubings create guiding rays, broken vials come together as a mosaic of transformation, and IV bottles bloom like flowers—each piece showing how simple things, handled with care, can shine brightly. ✨

At the center sits a Belen, framed by the Bangui windmills and Sentinella Hills, celebrating our identity, culture, and faith. This parol is our tribute to the people of Bangui—resilient, creative, and united. 🌟
