STORAGE CENTRES :-
The Government has announced a new
scheme of promoting blood storage in urban and rural areas. These storage centers
are to be affiliated to the larger Blood Banks. Previously, it was felt that some
remote centers and non-accessible areas were facing shortage of blood supply under
emergency situation. To overcome this problem, an amendment has been made to change
Schedule K of the DCA, 1940. As per the amendment, the existing small blood banks
collecting less than 2,000 units of the blood are to be converted into the storage
area especially those will receive tested and processed blood and component from
the Regional Centers for the use of patients in the hospitals. The Hospitals whether
it can be Private or Government can also avail the benefit of storage centers.
The area required for storage centers is only 10 sq.mtrs. with storage facility
and testing equipments which includes the following accessories. ¨
Blood Bank Refrigerator.
¨ Microscope.
¨ Centrifuge.
¨ Incubator.
¨ Pipit.
¨ Glass. Storage
centres will have to maintain records of the procurement, cross-matching, issue
of the blood and its component and such reports will be preserved at least for
5 years. Storage centres will have to arrange technically
qualified staff.
Laboratory Technician, who shall have the qualifications
as per the blood bank. The Staff i.e. Medical Officer and technicians are not
required to be full time employee but they will be considered totally responsible
for over the activities of the storage centres.
