India's Drug Control Body Restricts Blood Transfusion Overcharging | India Today News

In a move aimed at making blood transfusions more affordable, India's Central Drug Standard Control Organization has issued a directive to all private health centers, including hospitals and dedicated blood centers, restricting them from overcharging for blood transfusions. The notice clarifies that blood is not for sale, and only a processing fee can be levied. This fee, applicable for components of blood like red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, ranges between 250 to 2,000 Rupees, making it a more reasonable expenditure for families requiring urgent transfusion. This development is a significant stride toward better healthcare accessibility in India, reducing the financial burden on families struggling to arrange blood for critical medical procedures. #HealthcareReform #FairPricing #BloodTransfusion #IndianHealthcare
