Paramedical Development Program: Enhancing Technical Expertise

On 20th December 2024, the Department of Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion at Santosh Medical College and Hospital organized a specialized training session under the Paramedical Development Program. Held at the Blood Centre, Santosh Hospital, the event brought together 3 teachers, 6 students, and 10 non-teaching staff members for a focused session on improving technical and operational competencies.

The session covered three crucial topics:

• E-Raktkosh: An integrated blood bank management system, emphasizing inventory management, donor data, and compliance.
• Hemovigilance: Essential practices for ensuring blood safety, including reporting protocols.
• SBTC Website: A platform for state-level coordination of blood transfusion services, data sharing, and program updates.

Led by Mr. Mayank, an expert in blood bank systems, the program featured interactive discussions, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Participants gained practical insights into leveraging these tools to enhance efficiency and safety in blood transfusion services.

The training proved to be a significant step in equipping attendees with the necessary skills and knowledge, reinforcing the Blood Centre’s dedication to fostering excellence in paramedical services and transfusion safety.
