AGARTALA, Dec 17 (TIWN): “Only because a patient is having weakness, don’t push blood in his body. First check the level of hemoglobin in his / her body”, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb has asked his state’s Doctors and Hospital authorities while addressing in a blood donation camp at Agartala.

“We need to save blood. In other states hardly blood donation camps take place, but there is no blood crisis. So, I think we have to manage it. Where is the problem we need to find out it”, added Biplab Deb.

 “I have seen big states like Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra where no blood crisis is felt, but even after so many blood donation camps held in Tripura, why that much of blood crisis existing here ?”

“The cause of blood crisis are the technical issues. Whether the collected blood units are given to the hospitals properly or not, it needs to be checked too. Whether the patient who needs blood s/he is pushed with blood or any patient coming for simple reason is pushed with blood. Such matters have to be checked”, added Biplab Deb.
