District Hospital's Blood Bank Faces Critical Shortage

The blood bank of the district hospital has a capacity of 400 units of blood, but it has never reached its full capacity. At present, only 31 units of blood are available in the blood bank, while the daily consumption is 7 - 8 units. And read Trending Videos. Zero units of B negative and only 1 unit of O negative are available. If no blood donation camp is held in the next four days, there is a risk of running out of stock of these blood groups. The district hospital treats about 1,000 patients daily. Due to the lack of advertising, patients coming to the district hospital have to resort to private hospitals or private blood banks. On the birthday of former Ghosi MP Atul Rai on 20 February last, 88 units of blood were donated, but since then no major blood donation camp has been held in the blood bank. The staff of the blood bank says that serious patients are being provided blood on a priority basis. Due to the lack of voluntary blood donation and O negative, there is a problem.
