The Haryana government has approved a proposal exceeding ₹54 crore (approximately $6.5 million USD) to enhance blood transfusion services in the state. This decision was made during the 21st executive body meeting of the Haryana State Blood Transfusion Council, chaired by Additional Chief Secretary Sumita Misra. An Annual Action Plan for 2026-27, with an allocation of ₹11.60 crore, was also approved. This plan includes the procurement of blood bags and testing kits, deployment of mobile blood collection vans, and the expansion of 19 government blood component separation units. Blood collection in Haryana has steadily increased, from 5.50 lakh units in 2023-24 to over 5.92 lakh units in 2025-26, supported by the e-RaktKosh digital platform and awareness campaigns. The state has received the 'Excellence in Blood Donation Award' from the Centre for two consecutive years, and a blood centre in Kurukshetra was recognized as the best in the state. Currently, Haryana has 154 blood centres, including 34 government and 120 private facilities, with blood and its components provided free of cost in government hospitals. The council also plans to upgrade the Panipat blood centre into a fully automated unit and aims to ensure at least one blood centre in every district.
