1.1 Problem Statement: Blood Bank Management System
1.1 Problem Statement: Blood Bank Management System
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Every year our nation requires about 4 Cr. units of blood, out of which only 5
Lakh units of blood are available. It is not that, people do not want to donate blood. Often
they are unaware of the need and also they do not have a proper facility to enquire about
it. As a result, needy people end up going through a lot of pain. India has many blood
banks, all-functioning in a decentralized fashion. In the current system, individual
hospitals have their own blood banks and there is no interaction between blood banks.
The management is ad-hoc with no semblance of organization or standard
operating procedures. Donors cannot access blood from blood banks other than the
bank where they have donated blood. In present system all the blood banks are attached to
hospitals and there is no stand-alone blood bank. Some hospital has its own systems and
limitations. Because of low number of donors and more number of blood banks, the
efficiency and quality of blood banks are low, resulting in wastage of blood and blood
components.
