Overview

Production of the Blood Transfusion Service in 2001 follows trends of previous years. Despite discussionson organization and principal change of control of good manufacture practice (the majority ofblood banks had to pass a control of the State Drug Control Institute according to new law) theorganization and structure of the blood transfusion service remains the same. The great majority ofcollections is performed in not very big centres and locally processed, only 7.2 % of collections are sentfor processing to an other centre. The donor population is stable but lower than recommended (36.7donors per 1000 inhab.). The great majority of donations is without remuneration (97.5% of whole bloodcollections). The number of collections is stable (40 donations per 1000 inhab.). Number of plasmapheresesincreased to 49 thds. after the drop last year. The number of platelet collections is stable, someblood banks introduced multicomponent collections and /or erythrocytapheresis. Production shifts toproducts with lower leukocyte contamination. The proportion of plasma used in clinics is relativelyhigh (14 units per 1000 inhab.). The number of donors with positive markers of infection is steadilydecliing, probably due to better instructions of donors. Prevalence of HIV+ remains very low.
