In the medical world although many developments have been achieved and still continue,a replacement to real human blood and it's derivatives for the purpose of patient tratment has not been found.Blood, used in patients treatments,which people are the only resource has no other alternative.
In blood banking,first step is to collect safe and reliable blood.The stages that follows the first step,are laboratory processes and preservation and safely keeping of the blood.
Our country Turkey has low profile in blood donating volunteers percentage which is below % 1.5 where this figure in the developed countries is above % 5 .the patients when in need of blood mostly enquire donors from their own families or close relatives.
With this mobile unit the public will be trained on how important donating the blood is and the benefits blood provides to the patients.The mobile unit will be equipped to reach rural parts of the region,to the towns and villages where population is quite high,from there collect blood and return back to the community hospital safe and sound.

The blood bank within the hospital units is a licenced blood bank center.But does not have mobile blood collecting facilities.
It's annual need is approximately 60 000 units (Each unit volume is 500 cc capacity).Blood bank of the hospital can process up to 60 000 units of blood.Surgery section uses % 30 pct,regional ilness thalessimmia patients where blood transfusion is needed, % 70 pct of the quantity is being used.Adana city is among the top of highest earthquake risk regions in the land.The hospital is also in need of long term blood preserving capacity in very high amounts in case of earthquake mis happening.
