During the war, blood was collected from voluntary blood donors. But after the war, blood banks came up in the country in all the states depending on paid commercial blood sellers. Sporadic voluntary blood donation movement was launched by well meaning individuals, in some states in pockets. In 1980, first organised effort to address the unsafe shortage of blood was initiated in West Bengal with the formation of Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal, virtually a civil society to work from outside the blood banks as a separate entity. The Association developed this vital area of blood banking as an art based on science. Many ideas for motivating and recruiting donors were introduced. The strategies for donor recruitment were based on Education, Motivation, Donation and Recognition on Individual approach, Group approach and Mass approach with short term and long term techniques. Oral communication backed by various IEC materials were used as tools and implements. According to land and people different programmes were launched to convert blood donation as a people's movement. After working in the state for 5-years, the need of knowing what is happening elsewhere in the country was felt. Motivation, recruitment and retention of blood donors are the basis of any blood banking service. It is a neglected subject among the professionals including blood bankers. The Association thought of an exclusive 3-day National Conference on January 23, 24 and 25, 1985 at Kolkata which brought all the people of the country working in the field together to know each other, learn and share. Since then such National and International meets are being organised once in 5 year. From each meet, handbooks guidebooks by way of proceedings and other books like National Guidebooks are being produced that serve as the guide for the motivators of the country. For the sixth time in succession, the meet was organised on the same date i.e. January 23, 24 and 25. Workshop materials were made available to all the participants from home and abroad. This proceedings is meant for mainly those who could not attend the workshop as well as for the participants. January 23, 2011 Ashok Mukherjee Secretary Proceeding of National Workshop, 2010 ▌7 About The Volume The volume purports to be the proceedings of the National Conference and Workshop on Strategies for Blood Donor Recruitment And Total Voluntary Blood Programme. It is intended not only as an account of deliberations made in the workshop by the participants but also to serve as a Handbook with newer recruitment techniques for the blood donor motivators of the country. Verbal text of the presentations could not be reproduced in full due to reasons of space constraints but as far as possible no relevant point has been excluded in abridged version. In the proceedings two tone may be observed. One Powerpoint presentation and the other total reading out of the paper. The text of the presentations submitted by the speakers were reproduced with minor editing. The editorial board prepared the summary of all oral presentations from audio and video tapes and also from notes, wherever, in spite of several requests the speakers could not send the written text of their presentation. Chapters have been arranged session wise. Annexures contain list of participants with their feedbacks, report of exhibition. We would however offer our regrets in advance to those who may take umbrage at not being quoted and or being reported only in part, in spite of our best efforts to present a correct document based on tapes, long hand notes and presented text of papers made available to us by the participants. Since the Conference was exclusively on Blood Donor Recruitment, care was taken to exclude presentations not germane to the subject matter of the sessions. Conference Secretariat 8 ▌Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal Preamble Blood transfusion is an indispensable component of requirement for transfusion arising from severe life- health care.

  • Type of Reetesh Kumar Gujar Pathology
    Original Research Article Deferral of blood donors in a blood bank of a tertiary care centre: A retrospective study Rakesh A Hazari1, Reetesh Kumar Gujar2*, Deepika Kirar3 1Professor and HOD,2Assistant Professor, 3PG, Department of Pathology, People’s Medical College and Research Centre Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Blood safety is a major issue all over the world in transfusion medicine. For this, donor selection is necessary in addition to the screenings of blood bags for infectious diseases. Deferrals lead to loss of precious blood/ components available for transfusion. For preventing this, we should be having knowledge of causes of deferral and their frequency. In this study, causes of donor deferral were evaluated retrospectively from January 2014 to December 2016 in the blood bank of Peoples college of medical sciences and research centre Bhopal (India). In this study temporary deferral was more common than permanent deferral. Most common cause in permanent deferral was HBsAg positivity. Causes among temporary deferral were anaemia (Hb<12.5 gm%), alcohol in last 72 hr, weight <45 kg, age <18 years, patients on antibiotic, previous donation in last 3 month, typhoid in last 1 year, dog bite etc. Key Words: Deferral, Blood donation, Donor. *Address for Correspondence: Dr. Reetesh Kumar Gujar, Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, People’s Medical College and Research Centre Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA.

  • Point-Of-Care Blood Tests: Do Indian Villagers Have Cultural Objections?
    OPINION published: 06 November 2018 doi: 10.3389/fchem.2018.00505 Point-of-Care Blood Tests: Do Indian Villagers Have Cultural Objections? Marika Vicziany* and Jaideep Hardikar Faculty of Arts, National Centre for South Asian Studies, Monash Asia Institute, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia Keywords: point-of-care blood testing, rural health in India, cultural obstacles, infrastructure obstacles, cost obstacles, benefits, needs of villagers The key research question for this paper is whether Indian villagers would be resistant to the introduction of new technologies that could test blood in the villages where they reside, rather than at hospitals or clinics as is now the case. We have selected the subject of blood testing because screening and diagnosis of blood is relevant to many conditions that form part of India’s disease burden—for example, anemia1, hepatitis and malaria. Point-of-care testing would involve collecting blood in minute quantities, namely via a few pinpricks, and testing it on site using simple methods that could be managed by people with low levels of literacy. The technology would provide a readout of the test results within minutes of the blood being applied to the testing medium. The collection of blood and the tests could be conducted in front of patients in their own homes and the blood would not require refrigeration, storage or transportation to urban hospitals or laboratories. In this paper we consider the possible obstacles to and benefits of point-of-care testing in Indian villages by examining the controversy surrounding rapid testing for TB in India. We then go on to discuss two possible kinds of obstacles that have been raised in discussions with colleagues in Australia and India, namely cultural perceptions of blood, and secondly the adequacy of village level health infrastructure2.

Patel*** Abstract : Background: Blood transfusion saves millions of life all over the world every year. Shortage of blood donors has always been a problem throughout the world. In blood transfusion services many potential blood donors are deferred for several reasons. The rate and reasons of donor deferral differs from region to region and center to center. Materials and Methods: Record based study was carried out in 1961 donors attending blood bank. Results: Total 582 donors were deferred out of 1961 registered donors because of various reasons anemia was found most common cause of deferring the donors followed by hypertension, incidence of deferral of females was more as compared to males. Conclusion: It was found that deferral rate in present study was 29.67% and leading cause was anemia followed by hypertension for deferring donors. Therefore it is time to modify recruitment strategy with regular follow up of temporarily deferred donors. Key words: Donor deferral, Hemoglobin, Hypertension. A large numbers of blood donors are deferred from History: donating blood for several reasons either temporarily It was in 17th century 1628, when first donation of blood or permanently which makes a sad experience for was done; from that time on words blood transfusion blood banks and create shortage of blood donors who (8 -15) services are improving time to time till today.
