Blood banks in the government-run hospitals will apply for certification
of National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers
(NABH) by ensuring best quality services to patients.
The state government has prepared a proposal to seek NABH certification for its blood banks.
According to health department officials, all blood banks would be accredited in phased manner. In the first phase, they will take up blood banks in medical colleges, to be accredited by March 2015. They are targeting to procure the certification for grade district hospitals by September 2015. Also, by March 2016, they are planning to procure the certification of NABH for satellite district hospitals.

Health department's joint director (blood safety) Dr Ashok Jain said,
"As per initial plans, the accreditation will be done in phased manner."
According to the health department officials, the blood banks will get the certification after they ensure that they have the quality of services as per NABH norms.
Now, the health department has started strengthening blood banks in the state. There are 45 blood banks run by health department in various hospitals.
The NABH certification is awarded to blood banks which fulfill norms of NABH in quality of services delivered to the recipient and donors of blood. The behaviour of staff at blood banks is an important aspect as they need to understand the need of the recipient as well as the donor coming to blood banks. Also, equipments, facilities and service delivery are some of the key points on which the government is working to improve and strengthening the blood banks. The government is taking it on a priority basis and reviewing the progress of it every month. The government is also encouraging voluntary blood donations by organizing camps for it.
