The Jharkhand government has revoked the licence of a blood centre after discovering multiple regulatory breaches, according to a statement from the state health department.
The Jharkhand government announced today that it has revoked the licence of a blood centre operating in the state. The decision follows an internal audit that uncovered several regulatory violations, including improper storage conditions and lack of required accreditation. The state health department said the centre failed to meet national safety standards set for blood banks.
The licence revocation is part of a broader effort by the state to tighten oversight of medical facilities and ensure compliance with health regulations. Officials indicated that the centre will be required to address the identified deficiencies before any future licence can be considered.
The health department urged other blood banks to review their operations and adhere strictly to guidelines to avoid similar penalties. No further details about the centre’s name or location were released at this time.
