Mikail Shipar Government Secretary Secretary of the Ministry of Labor and Employment, People’s Republic of Bangladesh   The 128 th felicitation program for the lifetime voluntary blood donors took place on October 19, 2016 organized by the Quantum Voluntary Blood Donation Program, where the chief guest of the ceremony was Mr. Mikail Shipar - the Secretary of the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Government of Bangladesh. In his speech, the chief guest said, ‘We don’t actually have anything to give to the donors other than our utmost respect for their self-motivated effort of donating blood every four months. If we consider the degradation of our society we’ll notice that nowadays, we don’t even know our neighbors; when someone gets murdered in front of our eyes, we rather prefer taking its photos than saving the person. And that is where Quantum Foundation is working, and trying to awaken our sense of moral and humanity, creating a sense of accountabil...

Arastoo Khan Chairman of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited The chief guest of the 130th felicitation program for lifetime blood donors organized by Quantum Voluntary Blood Donation Program held on November 13, 2016, was Mr. Aarasto Khan- Chairman of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited. He tells us that he came to the program not as a chief guest but to express gratitude towards the donors. Donors and Quantum Foundation both did extensive work. You are the distinguished people among the society. I am saluting you. You have donated more than 800000 units of blood in the last 15 years. There’s a database of almost 2.84 lac donors. This is certainly a huge achievement. You donated blood to 30 thousand people free and 47,000 people with a minimum payment. I agree that, those who have the ability to pay the minimum cost shouldn’t be given blood for free. Free should only be for poor people who can’t afford it. Through the Quantum Voluntary Blood Donation Pro...

  Md. Sirajul Haque Khan Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh Today’s program was hosted for those who donated blood selflessly. I don’t have the ability to honor you for the work you did. But I am thankful that I could meet you all. Giving out advices is very easy but in most cases you’ll see that the advisor doesn’t practice the advice he gave out himself. But the one who has been advised has to follow it. Hence, my advices may seem unnecessary to a lot of you. I donated blood three times. But I am still in a big debt. In 1983, I was admitted to a Chest Disease Hospital due to complications of bronchitis. At this time, my body bled the most of my blood. Blood had to be transfused in me. But due to a mismatch, the body started to react. Then the voluntary blood donors came forward to help. Therefore, today I say that the blood currently in my body is not mine. I was healed by getting blood...

Dr. Shahla Khatun   National Professor All of you who are present here are voluntary donors. I cannot compare your with anything. All of you are children of our golden country! I am very happy to be here to meet you. And I have been given the opportunity to get acquainted with the Quantum Foundation , so I thank them. As you all know, I'm a doctor. When I started my education, Dhaka Medical College was the only medical college in the country. I can’t even explain how difficult it was for us to find blood donors back then. When I was in my third year of undergrad, our professor suddenly decided that there would be a heart operation and all of our batch should be there. We were 18 students. We went to the operation theater . Everyone was very enthusiastic to see the operation. All of a sudden the patient began to bleed a lot and we only had one bottle of blood. Back then blood was bottled unlike now, where special packaging is done. The patient needed more ...

Mohammad Ismail Chairman, Bangladesh Agriculture Bank We often call Bangladesh a small and poor country. But on what context: population, area or poverty? We stand 8 th globally in population. There are still 7 more countries that beat us. And in the geographical area Bangladesh is 93 rd . There are still more than one hundred countries. Our country's GDP is very high now. Then how are we poor a country! I think this is a completely wrong idea. If we can remove this misconception from our mind, then we’ll be able to see that we are doing well in every aspect of the society and a mentality to donate will be created. We can help our country and foreign countries as well. We have such power. We still have to get charity from foreign countries. We can also give charity if we want. Because it does not require you a lot of money but a big heart in order to donate. If the ones, who are blessed with the ability to give zakat, pay two and a half percent of thei...

Dr. A K Abdul Momen   Bangladesh Ambassador and former Permanent Representative to the United Nations Let me start with a story. My niece,  my brother’s daughter, was 18 years old at that time. Medical reports suggested that she was suffering from anemia. Later she was diagnosed with leukemia. Though we started treatment immediately, it eventually turned into blood cancer . The only known treatment for blood cancer is bone-marrow transplant. But it wasn’t easy to find a bone-marrow donor back then. They were living is the United States. After searching everywhere, they found a match in a bone-marrow bank in Texas. She had a surgery but we didn’t know who the donor was. After 3 years, we came to know the bone-marrow was donated by a Hindu-guy. Along with series of medicines, she was having chemotherapy after the operation. With all these in effect, both of her kidneys became damaged. She had to go through dialysis regularly. We could not find anyone t...

Do you know even a small population like Bhutan outranks Bangladesh in Voluntary Blood Donation in South-Asian countries? But it is very much possible to meet our entire need just from birthday donations of a mere 3% of our 18-60 age group population. So let our 19th birthday be memorable with the first gift of blood. And donate blood in lab . When you donate blood in lab it can be separated in multiple contents and can be used to save at least 4 individuals. As the processing needs to be started right after the blood is donated that can’t be done if it is donated in camp or somewhere else. And donate blood in the lab. It is possible to save 4 individuals, as the blood is separated in its 4 components, and the work can be started right away if the blood is donated in lab .
