Nghe An: Medical facility accused of being 'forced' to buy frozen plasma
(Baonghean.vn) - Patients who need to have packed red blood cell transfusions for treatment, when medical facilities come to buy at the Hematology - Blood Transfusion Center of Nghe An province, are 'forced' to buy more frozen plasma.
This is the reflection of a number of medical facilities to the Nghe An Newspaper hotline. Accordingly, when medical facilities came to the Nghe An Provincial Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center to buy 1 bag of packed red blood cells to serve the blood transfusion needs of patients, they were "forced" to buy an additional 150ml bag of frozen plasma and a testing fee of 215,000 VND.
Meanwhile, 1 unit of packed red blood cells with testing costs 675 thousand VND. Thus, medical facilities have to spend an additional 215 thousand VND to pay for frozen plasma while there is no need to use this product.

This medical facility reported that although the patient had no indication and no need for frozen plasma transfusion, the fact that the Nghe An Provincial Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center was forced to purchase frozen plasma when purchasing packed red blood cells caused a huge waste, but the medical facilities had no other choice, because this was the only place to supply blood and blood products in Nghe An.
Nghe An Provincial Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center was established in 2010 on the basis of the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Department of the Laboratory Department, Provincial Friendship General Hospital. The Center not only performs the tasks of the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Department, Nghe An Friendship General Hospital, but also receives and supplies blood to hospitals in Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces; examines and treats patients with blood diseases in the North Central region; participates in propaganda and mobilization of voluntary blood donation... |
Nghe An Newspaper will continue to inform the incident.
