State of the Ukrainian blood service in 2018

The Blood Service of Ukraine is one of the leading and strategic sections of the national healthcare system. The use of blood components and preparations is perhaps the main link in the provision of medical care to the sick and injured. The health of patients, and often their lives, depends on the use of blood products. Therefore, based on the results of the activities of the blood service institutions, the planning of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the work of blood transfusion centers (stations) is carried out.
