pertinent to transfusion and manufacturing blood products. This system is also an elemental part of quality control in a blood system,
bringing about corrective and preventive measures, and for the perpetual advancement of the quality and safety of blood products and

National Institute of Biologicals, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, under Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Government of India with a primary
objective to track adverse reactions/events and incidences associated with blood transfusion and blood product administration and to
identify trends, recommend best practices and interventions required to improve patient care and safety. This review article is a detail
update of current scenario of haemovigilance in India. |
