Rotary Bangalore TTK Blood Centre, BMST, is the Regional Blood Transfusion Centre, Karnataka. It is NABH accredited and has obtained AABB Quality Read morecertificate. We have won several National and Karnataka State awards for 100% voluntary blood collection and adjudged the best training centre in Blood Banking by Government of India. BMST blood Centre best practices 1. Emphasis on 100% voluntary blood donation, and stringent donor selection 2. 100% blood separated into components 3. Screening all units by NAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing - INternational Gold Standard for infection testing) 4. Ensuring vein-to- vein traceability a) All blood units and other samples Bar coded for identification b) Automated tests whose results are fed directly to the blood Centre Software (Hemotrace) c) Every component barcode is scanned and the results of TTI, blood group, pre-transfusion testing etc obtained and all labels are printed from software to eliminate errors due to manual entries d) All relevant records also printed directly from software to eliminate manual entries 5. Functioning as the Immunohematology reference laboratory for South India. 6. Actively promoting the concept of storage centres and bulk transfer of blood to improve accessibility to safe blood components (as on date, we supply blood to 26 storage centres in Bangalore ) Note :Our policy of taking back unused blood components from storage centres is perceived as a plus point with these hospitals. These components are issued to other hospitals / patients thus ensuring there is no wastage.


Issue

Expenses related to collection, processing and issue of blood Blood is donated free. But there are capital and recurring costs for building, electricity, equipment, personnel, consumables- (blood bags, testing reagents, kits and chemicals) and so on to implement the following: Motivation programs to promote voluntary blood donation and conduct blood donation drives; Blood collection, Screening blood for HIV, Hepatitis and other Transfusion Transmissible Infections; Blood group, antibody screening and pre-transfusion tests for donors and patients; Blood components preparation, storage and issue. Cost recovery One of the objectives of the Blood Policy of India is to prevent profiteering in Blood Transfusion Services. So the National and State Blood Transfusion councils, Government of India, issue guidelines for cost recovery of blood issued. At our blood center, we follow the GOI guidelines for cost recovery for blood issued to higher income patients and to corporate hospitals. But we support the poor and needy as follows: 1. At our day care centre, free blood and transfusions are given to patients with Thalassemia, Hemophilia and other Hematological disorders 2. Around 25% of blood collected is issued to government hospitals and poor patients free of cost 3. In addition we issue blood to charitable hospitals at subsidized rates


Action

We collect around 30,000 units of blood exclusively from voluntary donors at over 425 blood donation camps every year. Every unit is screened for HIV, Hepatitis etc and separated into blood components. Around 66,000 blood components are issued p.a. to around 44, 000 patients at 400 plus hospitals. We use automation, test methods, kits, and reagents which meet the highest quality standards, in order to provide quality, safe blood.
