Bilaspur.CIMS News Bilaspur: Once again, the Sims’ blood bank has run out of blood. This has increased the problems of patients requiring blood. There is a problem in arranging blood for relatives. The main reason for the shortage of blood is not getting the donated blood according to the capacity. Due to less stock, now blood is being provided only for critical patients.
The number of blood donors has decreased since the Corona period. People are shying away from the fear of getting corona. For this reason, there is a shortage of blood in the blood bank of Sims and District Hospital for the last two years. In the present situation, only a few units of blood are left for the emergency patient.
If there is a need for blood for surgery, delivery and other patients, then they are forced to find a man of the same blood group. Because of this, the relatives are being forced to wander here and there. Here, the Sims management has also made it clear, in view of the lack of blood, the family will have to arrange for the blood themselves.
Problems being faced for sickle cell and thalassemia patients too
Patients with sickle cell and thalassemia especially require one to two units of blood every month. Blood transfusion continues when hemoglobin is below seven, in such a situation that if they do not get blood on time, then they can also die. Sims also receives more than 120 such patients every month who need blood. It has become difficult for them to get blood too. In such a situation, their relatives have to make efforts to arrange blood from private blood banks.
Shortage in private bank too
Apart from the government blood bank, the condition of private blood bank is also going bad. Some social service organizations are providing blood here from time to time. But even this is not working. In such a situation, emphasis is being laid on voluntary blood donation.
