<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In the paper, a novel mathematical model for blood supply chain network and a variant of Genetic Algorithm for the problem are proposed. The proposed mathematical model is developed using Mixed-integer nonlinear programming. The model is designed as a location, allocation, and routing problem that includes determining locations of local blood centers, assigning transfusion and blood donation centers to predetermined local blood centers, and routing between them. Eventually, a case study is conducted in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkish Red Crescent to illustrate the practicality and validity of the proposed model.</p>

“…It aims to improve the coordination of blood supply and demand during the COVID-19 pandemic and similar public health emergencies in the future. TRC is the only legal authority that organizes collection, production, storage and distribution of blood and blood products in Turkey (5) . There are 19 Regional Blood Centers (RBC) connected to TRC (4) .…”

“…In such circumstances TRBC also requests help from TRC. After collection from voluntary donors through mobile blood donation vehicles or donation centers; blood is transported to the nearest RBC that produce blood components and deliver them to hospitals (5) . In case of emergency or unmet needs of the hospital; TRC gives permanent permission (for 24-48 hours) to hospitals for collecting blood and producing its components through their own transfusion centers (6) .…”

INTRODUCTION: Coronovirus disease(COVID-19)rapidly spread worldwide after its first report in December 2019,in China.This spread drastically reduced the number of blood donations,thereby creating a shortage at blood banks in the whole world.Turkish Red Crescent(TRC) is the only legal authority that organizes collection,production,storage and distribution of blood and blood components in Turkey.Only in case of emergencyTRC gives permanent permission to hospitals;for collecting blood and producing its components through their own transfusion centers.This report describes how theCOVID-19 impacted blood supplies ofTRC and hospital demands in Turkey with an aim to improve the management of blood supply and demand during theCOVID-19 and future pandemics. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of nine months;from November 1,2019 to July 31,2020.Data were retrospectively obtained from donor attendance and blood inventory records ofTRC and included;1)the number of donated units of apheresis platelet concentrates(APC) and blood toTRC,2)the number of units ofAPC and erythrocyte suspensions(ES) supplied by the hospitals themselves,3)the number of units of APC andES supplied to hospitals by TRC(APCHandESH).The periods before(first period) and after(third period)arrival of COVID-19 to Turkey are compared. RESULTS: An increase of 52%in the number of APCdonations,but a decrease of 22% in the number of blood donations(NBD) were detected in the third period compared to the first one.Mean APCH were 7081±550 and5121±255 units in the first and third periods,respectively.The mean ESH in the first period was 873±326 units,while it was3694±3143 units in the third period. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is obvious that we have learnt many lessons from theCOVID-19 pandemic,like how to face challenges in maintaining the balance between blood demandandblood supply.Utilizing media to encourage donors and implementation of PatientBloodManagement on national and institutional levels may be some some of the key components of a comprehensive strategy.The collaboration ofMinistry of Health,TRC and hospitalswassuccessful in securing a balance between blood supply and demand in Turkey,which COVID-19 pandemic impacted significantly.

In the aftermath of a disaster, acquiring and fulfilling blood demand is essential to prevent further loss of lives. Consequently, in recent years, the concept of blood supply chain design for disaster relief has gained immense importance. This article addresses this issue by developing a novel bi-objective scenario-based mathematical model to minimize the system's costs while enhancing the blood supply rate. The proposed framework encompasses three echelons of blood centers, hospitals, and backup blood centers. The model is developed using a set of techniques, including backup coverage, lateral transshipment, gift card, buffer storage, and blood transfusion. This specific combination aims to reduce blood shortages in the system by improving the coordination among different echelons of the network and encouraging more eligible individuals to donate blood. Next, the model is evaluated by applying it to a case study concerning a probable dangerous earthquake in Tehran capital of Iran. Furthermore, a Lagrangian relaxation method is implemented on the model to improve its capability in dealing with larger-scale problems with higher efficiency. Finally, the results and analysis demonstrate our approach's validity and advantages in satisfying the blood demand in a disaster time.
