A request for feed back: Regional Blood Transfusion Centres

[Guest guest]

Dear and respected all,

Just two studies are cited here to emphasize the monstrosity of the

problem of maternal mortality.

About 38% of maternal deaths in our country occur due to haemorrhage

(Sample Registration System of India -2005)

Systematic review (WHO) of 34 (thirty four) datasets -percentage of

maternal deaths from haemorrhage was higher than previously estimated

by WHO (Khan  KS et al, WHO analysis of cause of death: a systematic

review, Lancet 2006;367:1066-74).

Fully functional blood storage centres are a part of strategic

interventions to reduce maternal mortality.

Facilitation of blood storage centres necessitates effective mother

blood banks-RBTCs, govt. and IRCS blood banks.

We would request you to kindly provide your valuable inputs to enrich

and strengthen the draft guidelines on RBTCs(as attached) developed by

us.

 

The same have been shared with some of the technical experts in

the state with incorporation of their inputs.

Thanks and best wishes,

Dr.Rajesh Gopal.
