We welcome the introduction of the new safe-blood bill in Parliament, a long-awaited milestone that offers renewed hope and protection for individuals who rely on regular blood transfusions.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Shri Parshottam Rupala, Hon’ble MP, and to all lawmakers and institutions involved in bringing this crucial issue to the forefront. Their attention to patient safety has the power to change lives.
This moment is the result of years of persistence, courage and unwavering advocacy.
We express our deep gratitude to Thalassemics India,
Thalassemia International Federation, Sarveshyam Mangalam
Your dedication, solidarity, and tireless efforts have ensured that the voices of patients and caregivers were not only heard, but acted upon. This progress belongs to the entire community.
For patients who undergo transfusions every 15–20 days, safe blood is not a privilege, it is life itself. Stronger standards, uniform testing protocols, and accountability in the blood ecosystem will reduce transfusion-transmitted infections and protect thousands of lives.
This bill represents more than a policy change.
It represents dignity, safety, and hope.
Together, we move one step closer to a future where safe blood is a right for every patient in India.
