DAMAULI, June 2: Kidney survivors are facing trouble in dialysis due to lack of blood at Kidney Treatment Centre in the Damauli Hospital. 

Blood shortage has surfaced since blood donation programmes are not taking place in the district due to coronavirus pandemic and subsequent prohibitory orders. Kidney patients requiring dialysis have been hit hard due to lack of blood. 

The dialysis patients are forced to arrange blood on their own. In-charge of Kidney Treatment Centre Shailendra Pandit shared that blood shortage surfaced as there have not been any blood donation programs after the enforcement of prohibitory orders. 

“There used to be routine blood donation programs. But now the problem has come to a fore due to unavailability of blood for treatment”, he said, adding that patients are forced to find blood on their own.
