The blood component therapy is definitely an improvement regarding usage of blood. In advanced countries, it has become a standard mode of blood therapy. Unfortunately we have not taken it seriously as yet as it is not popularly practiced due to lack of facilities in our blood banks. It implies reorganization of blood banks with regard to administrative responsibility, education and training of the staff, donor procurement and facilities for aseptic processing etc. In future the working efficiency of a blood bank should be judged from its capability to prepare and issue various blood components in safe and usable form with the same efficiency and quick delivery with which it now issues whole blood. It is necessary that all our blood banks should be equipped to prepare and issue the packed red blood cells, WBCs and platelet rich plasma or concentrates, and single donor fresh or stored plasma. They should also be source of supply of plasma for fractionation which should be carried out at a central place.
