“…According to the international haemovigilance Network, haemovigilance can be defined as "a set of surveillance procedures covering the whole transfusion chain (from the collection of blood and its components to the follow up of recipients), intended to collect and access information on unexpected or undesirable effects resulting from the therapeutic use of labile blood products and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence. [6][7][8][9][10] In 1991, with the setup of blood transfusion committees in France a national haemovigilance was established. Later in 1998, European haemovigilance network was organized.…”

Background: Haemovigilance Programme of India was launched in 2012 with the purpose to identify, analyse and learn the complications related to transfusion and blood donation, in order to avoid such complications in future. Though it is essential to identify the Adverse Transfusion Reactions (ATR) to reduce the incidence and make transfusion easier; there are rare reports available about knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of Healthcare Professionals (HCP) for haemovigilance.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, pre-validated questionnaire designed for assessing the KAP, the possible ways to improve transfusion reaction reporting and causes of underreporting were distributed among 220 Healthcare Professional (HCP) in Nashik, Maharashtra.Results: The response rate of the study was 93%. Amongst them 58% HCP had poor knowledge while only 9% had good knowledge about haemovigilance. According to respondents, training to the HCP, CME’s, making reporting compulsory and launching of a toll-free helpline number will mark a milestone in improving transfusion reaction reporting. Legal liability issue and lack of time & knowledge were the main factors which discouraged them from reporting.Conclusions: Overall, most of HCP in Nashik have a positive attitude towards transfusion reaction reporting but knowledge regarding the haemovigilance concept is poor and the majority of them never reported ATR. Hence, our study demands increased awareness and continued training to strengthen the haemovigilance system, especially ATR reporting.

“…It was first implemented by Japan and France in the early 1990s as a preventive quality improvement measure in response to infectious disease transmissions, and later introduced into the European Blood Directive on a voluntary and, subsequently, a mandatory basis . Hence, most countries with developed economies have a system of required national reporting for transfusion‐related adverse events, and a growing number of countries with developing economies have implemented hemovigilance programs of their own . Indeed, 34 countries are members of the International Haemovigilance Network…”

“…Initially, awareness on blood safety was developed at the end of 1980s due to the transmission of infection by transfusion that leads to organizing the hemovigilance system in 1991 at France with the arrangement of monitoring systems by transfusion committees, resulting in a national hemovigilance network in 1994 [5]. The hemovigilance is defined as a set of surveillance procedures covering the whole transfusion chain from the collection of blood and its components up to the follow-up of its recipients intended to collect and assess information on adverse effects, resulting from the use of blood products and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the functioning and status of implementation of hemovigilance program of India (HvPI) in the blood banks of southern Kerala. Methods:It was a survey approach to analyze the facilities, working nature, and status of implementation of hemovigilance program by the blood banks located in the three districts of southern Kerala. Both goevrnment and private sector blood banks were subjected to the survey. Standard pro forma was used to collect the data. Collected data were analyzed by percentages and ratios.Results: A total of 40 blood banks were covered in the study. All the blood banks were licensed for handling whole blood. 23 blood banks were licensed for handling blood components. 6 blood banks process 100% blood into components. Majority of blood banks have excellent demand for components. Packed red cells, platelet concentrate, and fresh frozen plasma were the significant components among the prepared components. Majority of the blood banks under the survey had hospital transfusion committee (HTC). 25 blood banks replied as the HvPI is an excellent/good system. However, only 11 blood banks were enrolled in the HvPI. Training programs for the resident doctors and nurses regarding with adverse transfusion reaction and their reporting were not conducted by 17 blood banks. Conclusion:Except very few blood banks, all are need more awareness and training programs. Attention should be given in the area such as underreporting, poor implementation of hemovigilance, only serious reactions reporting, and avoiding minor reactions. Core factor is proper functioning of HTC and awareness programs about hemovigilance system.
