HYDERABAD: In an attempt to fight the impending shortage of blood across banks, Drugs Control Administration (DCA) of Telangana has issued orders that blood bank vans can move door-to-door to collect blood.
In an order issued to all the drug inspectors and assistant directors across the state, DCA director Dr Preeti Meena said, “As blood is an essential commodity, its collection should not be hampered.
Government had permitted all blood banks to be operational even during the lockdown. However, instructions are issued to all blood banks to not encourage blood donation camps at this moment. Blood bank vans can be used for collection. Blood banks shall be informed that voluntary blood donation at the banks may be encouraged.”
