The Regional Blood Transfusion Centre of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital is facing difficulty carrying out the blood component separations because of shortage of technicians at a time cases of dengue have been reported from several districts.
Mridumoy Das, the director of the transfusion centre, said they had six technicians when the requirement was of around 15.
"We have been facing a shortage of technicians for over a year. The RBTC has to handle a vast range of work such as collection of blood, conducting tests on them, making digital entries in order to keep a record and attend blood donation camps. But the number of technicians currently is insufficient," Das said.
The RBTC official said the technicians were facing difficulties in carrying out the process of blood component separation.
