Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, has denied that work of the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) is affected as a result of the sacking of some employees last November.The Minister said that the blood bank is collecting more blood now than it has ever done in years.He told Kaieteur News, yesterday,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, that the number of voluntary donation has increased to some 75 percent, as the Ministry continues to aim for its 100 percent voluntary donation goal.Dr. Ramsammy explained that the NBTS has been able to host a number of blood drives across the country to boost its stock.However, while the work of the blood bank is not affected as a result of fewer employees, National Blood Donor Manager of the NBTS,Wholesale China Jerseys, Shameeza Mangal,NFL Jerseys Cheap, had told this newspaper that while the bank is not grossly understaffed, but there is a need for more organizers.She too denied that the blood bank is affected by fewer employees.Currently, NBTS is advertising vacancies for an administrator, a medical technologist, staff nurse and blood organisers.A source said that the NBTS is understaffed and as such there is pressure on the remaining staff members who have to organise various blood drives across the country.As it is currently,Wholesale China Jerseys, the blood bank is still experiencing a shortage of blood, and has not been able to reach its weekly buffer stock of 144 units.This newspaper was also reliably informed that ever since the employees were fired in November, it was then that the NBTS started to experience a severe shortage of blood due to the fact that there were no blood organisers to manage blood drives.In fact, one of the employees who was fired and prefers not to be named told Kaieteur News that when the sacked employees were working at the blood bank,Jerseys From China, they had a lot of connections with a number of organizations,NFL Jerseys Outlet, and as such they were able to collect more blood.Now that there is a shortage of blood organisers, the collection is being affected.These employees were fired in November after Health Minister; Dr. Leslie Ramsammy deemed them ‘incompetent.’But these persons had claimed that they are very much qualified with their degrees and diplomas from the University of Guyana and cannot understand why they were fired.The employees were also sent home at a time when the PEPFAR report had revealed that the NBTS was dumping blood.
