“…Although a decline in blood donation between 26-40% was reported by various authors, a corresponding decline in requisitions between 18-21% following the postponement of routine surgeries was also seen [9] , [10] . Some authors also reported wastage of blood with higher discards due to a sudden decrease in demand amid adequate or even surplus stocks in the initial phase of the pandemic [2] , [11] .…”

“…Despite having a decrease in the blood donation in phase 2, the study revealed that there were no significant changes between the three phases of the study. A similar study by Gupta et al (2021) stated that during the lockdown, from 25 March 2020 with controlled opening that started 1 June 2020, the overall number of blood donations fell, although the difference was not statistically significant. Furthermore, the utilization of blood in their study showed that it was compensated by a decrease and/or postponement of elective surgeries and medical treatments.…”

Blood collection has been a crucial procedure for different hospitals and blood banks to obtain blood supply in order to be used in various therapeutic procedures for the patients. Conducting blood collection drives offer access to quality and safe health services given to the patients that need blood. The current situation of the healthcare system is being hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic which made a lot of restriction and limitation to hospitals due to quarantine protocols and social distancing. Blood donation is one of the affected procedures by the COVID-19 and it is the purpose of this study to determine the rates of blood donation in selected hospital-based blood banks of Quezon City during the pandemic crisis. The trends of blood donation between phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 of the

“…Significant reduction in donations along with concerns regarding the safety of blood products has emerged. Therefore, service providers face the inevitable hazard of SoHO shortage (Al Mahmasani et al 2021 ; Gupta et al 2021 ). In this regard, health equity could be of utmost importance during the COVID-19 pandemic (Shamsoddin 2020 ).…”

A simple empirical inventory model for managing the processed corneal tissue equitably in hospitals with demand differentiation

This paper peruses one of the most challenging healthcare concerns related to human organ transplantation. In this regard, a medical system’s health-economic objectives are investigated to (1) achieve a desirable level of health equity in offering healthcare services to patients who are differentiated in terms of medical conditions, and (2) minimize total costs incurred across managing the inventory. This paper presents the first-ever operational research study to manage processed corneal tissue (PCT). Besides, hybrid demand-oriented policies have been proposed to equitably issue and assign specific inventories to demands with distinct medical urgent levels (ULs). In this regard, a practical multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MOMILP) model is proposed for a system with multiple products that can be substituted with each other according to medical priorities. A goal programming (GP) approach is utilized to find the optimum solution. The applicability of the model is validated through a real case study. Finally, several sensitivity analyses are conducted to examine the effect of critical parameters on the solutions to gain useful managerial insights. The results show that the proposed health-economic trade-off is well performed and can efficiently handle the real case.
