A high level official of the hospital informed, "Although the doctors are demanding for blood for their patients, they usually don't wait for it to arrive & administered. This results the bloods are not been transfused to the patients & are kept aloof until the doctor reappears after a couple of days. In the meantime, the blood often expire as the wards are not equipped to store it properly." The official, not willing to disclose his identity also informed, "the duty nurses at the wards have conveyed this information to the doctors repeatedly & have requested them to send requisition to the blood bank & allow to procure the blood units when they are physically present at the wards. The doctors have declined this proposal for reasons unknown."

This results in wastage of valuable & life saving blood units every month. Although different organisations, clubs & NGOs are organising blood donation camps on a regular basis to meet the growing demand of the district hospital, several units are been destroyed due to lack of co-ordination & will of the hospital management & officials. When asked, the vice-principal of the medical college & super of the hospital, Sarit Kumar Chowdhury said to bardhaman.com, "The waste of blood was a practice of the past but steps has been taken to eradicate it. Still I will enquire about it." The Dy. Super of the hospital, M. Mursed straightly decline and said, "I don''t know any incidence of blood wastage. Such things doesn't here." The principal of the medical college, Bijoy Mukherjee couldn't believe such incidence but later explained that blood can be wasted for `several reasons' and have assured to `look into it'.

The blood bank officials have sent report of used as well as wasted blood units to the hospital authority every month. The reports revels that, in most of the cases the blood units wasted, couldn't be used due to expiry of it for non-usage within scheduled time. When this district hospital is in need of blood & stocks run out in most of the days of the month, such waste due to negligence have astonished most of the hospital staffs & officials also. On 31st May this year, Jamir Mirza, a thalesemia affected youth of Raina area committed suicide after hearing the news of scarcity of blood at the blood bank of the district hospital. Jamir's uncle, Samser Ali Mirja confirmed that the youth was depressed when he heard that the much necessary blood is not available at the blood bank & this led the higher secondary appeared student to commit suicide. 

Another house-wife of the Bhatar area was found to HIV positive after she was transfused with blood from the blood bank. The lady was transfused with infected blood inspite of all necessary testing is mandatory as per government norms. In the month of June, an indoor patient died due to lack of blood. This led to organisation of blood donation by several clubs & social service organisations to maintain a steady supply of blood at the blood bank. 

It seems that, all efforts & noble gestures of different clubs & social welfare organisations are going to waste just due to negligence & lack of will of the blood bank & hospital authorities. It seems much effort is needed from the hospital authorities for proper usage of the much needed lifeline instead of wasting it for their whimsicalness.
