Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Thursday said that Blood Component Separation Units (BCSUs) would be set up in the blood banks of four hospitals of the State.
Vij said that this step taken by the State Government would provide the patients with safe and quality blood judiciously. This would also help in fulfilling the requirement of blood for patients in their nearby places.
These units would be set up in the blood banks of Civil Hospital of Bhiwani, Hisar, Ambala and Jind. The State Government has provided Rs2.92 crores for this purpose, he said.
The Health Minister said that the State Government is working to computerise Government blood banks and interlink them. For this, software is being prepared by Haryana State Health Resource Centre. This would help in easy work flow and display of availability of blood in public domain.
Vij added that Platelet Apheresis units have been set up in the blood banks of district hospitals of Panchkula and Gurgaon. Platelet Apheresis machine have been installed at blood banks at general hospitals in Gurgaon and Panchkula.
This would help in providing platelets to Dengue patients at affordable cost.
The laboratories which were being set up in Haryana would also be accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration laboratories (NABl).
