Blood donors save Goma

Four members of INF’s staff in Nepal’s Surkhet District recently saved a life by agreeing to donate blood, enabling a patient to have an emergency gynæcological operation.

The patient, called Goma, was brought to Surkhet from her village in Achham District by five family members, but due to superstition they were too frightened to give their blood for her and so the four INF staff members agreed to give theirs [for two of them this was the first time they had given blood].

Goma has now recovered and returned home.
