Badhon is the leading volunteer organization in Bangladesh specially for blood donation.
One month ago I have taken a Hepatitis B Vaccine form Badhon, Amor / Aomor Ekushey Hall Office, 14th, September was my second dose date. I got there at about 11:00 am. The office room is locked. I phoned the general secretary of Badhon Amor / Aomor Ekushey Hall Branch, he told me that he was not there, he can push the vaccine if I came after the Ifter. I urged that I have many works to do, I can’t stay this long time there. Then he told me than he was sending a volunteer there to give me the vaccine. I began to wait in the Rafiq Bhabhan, but almost one hour passed, nobody came. I called a friend and took that volunteer’s cell phone number. My friend called him and he said that he is busy in a work and could not be able to reach the hall within 90 minutes. Ok I waited almost 100 minutes and went to Rafiq Bhabhan, and called that volunteer. He was there and told me to wait saying that he will meet me soon. He came after 20 minutes of the given time. He told me that he cannot push the vaccine right now because he has no key to unlock the room. Then he called another volunteer, who was in the Rafiq Bhabhan. He gave a key, but the first volunteer said that it will not work. At about 1:30 PM he said me that it was not possible to give the vaccine right then. He told me to come after Iftar or tomorrow to take the vaccine. It was not possible for me to come next day to take vaccine. So I have to wait, for IFTER. I went to Fazlul Haque Muslim Hall to meet a friend, and stayed there till ifter. After having Ifter, I went to Amor / Aomor Ekushey Hall again, and called the volunteer, he meet me after the call, and talked to other volunteer. After sometime he told me it will take some more time. He asked me to read newspaper this time. After half an hour he told me that, I have to wait another 100 minute to take the vaccine. It was night then and almost 8:30 PM. I refused to stay any longer and departed the hall.
Now my question is that why Badhon has a single key for their office? If they unfortunately have single key to unlock the room, is should be in the office room or in the hand of provost who always anyhow reachable from hall. Why some powered volunteer whimsically take the single key and disappeared for all the day? There is no answer definitely.
Let alone the vaccine, what will happen if any body asked for emmergency blood service then. All the database of people along with their contact number who are interested to donate blood within that area are kept in that room. How will they serve then? Definitely they would say that blood is not available now.
