Abstract

Haemovigilance contributes major importance in regard to safe blood transfusions and ensuring patient safety. With coherently scrutinizing adverse events in the transfusion chain, Haemovigilance aids a safer and effective blood donation and transfusion procedures. These days, adverse event tracking, investigation, and analysis create pertinent data for the quality cycle of blood collection facilities, transfusion laboratories, and transfusion institutions. This review article focuses on the requirement of Haemovigilance, the current status of Haemovigilance in India as well as the Haemovigilance Program of India (HvPI) with respect to blood transfusion.
