The licensing authority has cancelled the licence of the blood centre at City Care Hospital following repeated breaches of safety and regulatory standards.
The licensing authority of the state has revoked the licence of the blood centre operating within City Care Hospital after a series of repeated violations were identified during inspections.
Investigations revealed that the centre had failed to maintain required storage conditions, lacked proper documentation for blood units, and did not adhere to standard operating procedures mandated by the Central Blood Transfusion Council.
City Care Hospital, a private healthcare provider, had previously been granted a licence to operate a blood bank under strict regulatory oversight. The recent findings prompted the authority to take immediate action.
The revocation means the hospital’s blood donation and transfusion services will be suspended until compliance with all safety and regulatory norms is restored. Hospital officials have pledged to rectify the deficiencies and reapply for a licence once corrective measures are in place.
