A spurt in new infections surfacing the world over remains a huge concern to the blood banking and blood products industry. Though awareness amongst consumers and health workers helped in reducing the intensity of infection, the industry is yet to free itself of various problems such as safety, and availability of quality blood. The awareness has also resulted in the implementation of stringent safety standards for both donors, and blood screening (blood) banks to be adhered to before any transfusion. Rigorous testing and screening procedures, along with the help of new technology have sufficiently reduced the threat of diseases being transmitted through transfusions. Though the overall situation has improved, instances of diseases spreading through blood transfusion are still common in the developing and underdeveloped countries. Awareness campaigns in these countries have also drawn flak, with only a few donors volunteering.
