Jaipur, 13th June, 2016: Blood saves lives, a saying that has been heard and read many a times.
However, providing timely access to quality blood transfusion should be
incorporated by national policies of all countries across the globe. On account
of the World Blood Donor Day, IIHMR University, India’s globally recognized
research institutions shared it’s insights and also shared a voice in tandem
with the WHO theme on, ‘Blood Connects Us All’.
Dr. SD Gupta, Chairman of the IIHMR
University and Trustee Secretary of the IIHMR Society said, “India is known for
it’s dynamism. A country with a total population of 1,325,935,818 as on June
2016 still faces major deficit in the availability of blood. The country till
date faces a blood shortage of 30-35% per annum. The state of Rajasthan has 102
licensed blood banks as per the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation
(CDSCO) report in Feb 2015. The state
has been able to collect over 2.5 lakh blood units as on 2013 according to Rajasthan State Blood
Transfusion Council (RSBTC).”
Dr. Gupta added, “According to the
financial outlays and outcome 2015-16 the projected outcomes (2015-16) the
blood collection in NACO supported Blood Banks is 70Lakhs. Under the NHM and Health Sector Schemes, for
National Aids Control Organization the projected outcomes (2015-16) the
proportion of blood units collected by voluntary blood donation in NACO
supported blood banks is 80%. The state of Rajasthan has however seen a rise in
blood donations. Blood donation camps until 2012 are 3,478 in the state vis-à-vis
1914 in 2008. Under another initiative of the RSBTC the patients will now be
able to get the blood faster by making blood banks online. A software on
Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS) is being developed. Likewise
2711 facilities in India are already linked to the National Health Portal an
app initiated to introduce transparency in blood availability and it’s
distribution. This facility will allow individuals to timely procure quality
blood from the blood banks by reducing the processing time. The availability of
such services also opens more avenues for Hospital and Health Managers.”
Globally, over 108 million blood
donations collected and 62 countries across the globe have 100% blood supplies
from unpaid and voluntary blood donors. Blood Donation rate in high-income
countries is 36.8 donations per 1000 population, 11.7 donations in
middle-income and 3.9 donations in low-income countries.
