District Hospital Blood Bank Building Handed Over, but Operations Still Pending
The newly built blood bank at Deen Dayal Upadhyay District Hospital has been handed over to the hospital, but it remains non-functional pending equipment, manpower and licensing approvals.
Current Summary
The blood bank building at Deen Dayal Upadhyay District Hospital has been handed over by the construction agency, but the facility is not yet operational. Hospital principal medical superintendent Dr Yatendra Singh said the tender for blood bank equipment has recently been floated by the Directorate General of Health (DG Health), and a proposal for manpower has also been submitted. He said equipment work is expected to be completed in three to four weeks, but said repeated requests for manpower approval have not yet been granted. Singh said the application for the facility's operating licence will be filed once equipment and manpower are in place. The delay has drawn questions from patients and visitors, particularly regarding availability of blood for emergency cases.
