EMERGENCY HELP AND OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES

Blood Transfusions

     When a member of the Loyola Schools community is ill and needs an emergency blood transfusion, the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs serves as a vital link between the patient and the blood donors. Through a Memorandum of Agreement with the National Kidney Institute and linkages with other hospitals such as St. Luke’s Medical Center, Lungsod ng Kabataan and Philippine Heart Center, the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs can immediately call any of the above mentioned hospitals and request for the needed blood:

     Simply provide the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs with the following information of the person needing the blood:

          • Name

          • Blood type

          • Hospital where he/she is confined

• How much blood is needed

The Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs may also look for willing donors with the needed blood type and provide transportation to the hospital where the person needing the blood is confined.
