 ABSTRACT

The Blood Bank Management System (BBMS) is an application that stores, processes,
retrieves, and analyses data about blood bank administration. It also supervises blood inventory
management and other blood bank-related activities. The major goal of the blood bank
management system is to keep track of blood, donors, blood groups, blood banks, and stock
information. It keeps track of all information concerning blood, blood cells, stocks, and blood.
Because the project is all done at the administrative level, only the administrator can see it. A
person who likes to donate blood gives his entire details i.e., fill in the registration form and
can create a username with a password by which he can modify his details if at all there are
any changes in his information given before. Blood is a crucial healthcare resource linked to
saving patients' lives with accidents, surgeries, bleeding disorders, pregnancy-related com-
plications, inherited/acquired haematological diseases, and malignancies. Globally, about
118.5 million blood units are collected annually, yet the demand exceeds the existing capacity
[1].

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Since blood cannot be stored for an indefinite amount of time, a constant source of blood
donation is required. According to the WHO, the sustainable approach toward ensuring prompt
and effective access to the sources of safe blood and blood products is to develop a nationwide
organized blood transfusion program focused on voluntary non remunerated blood donors
(VNRBD) [2]. Recruiting voluntary blood donors remains one of the significant challenges for
any blood transfusion service. Out of 193 WHO Member States, only 62 countries (32%)
reported receiving more than 99% of their blood supply through VNRBD [1]. In general, blood
banks face multifaceted challenges in resource limited conditions like rural areas of
Bangladesh. Blood storage is a big concern due to the unavailability of continuous electricity
supply in many parts of Bangladesh and other parts of the world. Improper storage can
deteriorate the quality of stored blood, leading to wastage. Besides, blood from voluntary
donors is challenging to obtain on short notice because of poor networking, the absence of
databases of potential donors, and transportation. Professional donors often take this
opportunity to sell blood to earn money. These blood sources can be of poor quality due to
blood being frequently sold (often having less than four months intervals)or posing a risk of
transmissible infections such as HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and malaria [3]. The blood screening
program in Bangladesh showed that as high as 47% of the blood collected in 2000 was from
professional blood donors. They were found to contain transfusion-transmitted infections
(TTI). The paid donors had a high prevalence of infectious markers such as HBsAg, VDRL,
Anti-HCV, and Anti-HIV [4]. Our previous study found that over 28% of transfusion-
dependent thalassemia patients had been infected with the hepatitis C (HCV) virus [5]. In
Bangladesh, a major crisis exists regarding safe blood sources for transfusion because it is one
of the most vulnerable countries in the world in terms of beta-thalassemia patients. The
prevalence of beta-thalassemia carriers could be about 10% of the total population,
corresponding to 16 million carriers in Bangladesh. One study estimated that 60,000–70,000
patients suffer from thalassemia; about 67% are dependent on blood, and 41% require blood
transfusion every 2–4 weeks for survival [5]. However, against an expected demand of 800,000
blood units in 2016, about 600,000 were collected, of which only 31% came from voluntary
donors [6]. This figure is abysmal compared to other countries in South-East Asia, such as
Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka [6]. In addition, only half of the district health facilities in

1
Bangladesh keep a stock of blood for later use; almost 41% of them are facing a supply shortage
[6]. This suggests a general gap between demand for blood and supply. It is noteworthy that
the supply of blood has been hampered due to the COVID-19 crisis [7]. With prolonged
lockdown and burdened healthcare, Bangladesh faced an insurmountable challenge to ensure
a safe blood supply to critical patients within its existing framework. Moreover, research
surrounding the motivational factors and barriers affecting blood donations in developing
countries is scarce. In Bangladesh, most existing blood donation drives heavily rely on various
occasions to collect blood from donors. A significant portion of this blood becomes unusable
due to inadequate networking to reach the appropriate recipients. A recent review of what
motivates people to donate showed that the convenience of a collection site was the key factor
among first-time and repeat donors [8].study, we aimed to fill the colossal gap in the literature
by investigating the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of residential students and
teachers of RRA institutions regarding blood donation. This may lead to safe, quick, and
voluntary blood donation across the country.

 OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this application is to automate the complete operations of the blood bank.
They need to maintain hundreds of thousands of records. Also searching should be very fast so
they can find required details instantly.To develop a web-based portal to facilitate the
coordination between supply and demand of blood . This system makes conveniently available
good quality, safe blood and other blood components, which can be provided in a sound, ethical
and acceptable manner, consistent with the long-term well being of the community. It actively
encourages voluntary blood donation, motivates and maintains a well-indexed record of blood
donors and educates the community on the benefits of blood donation. This will also serve as
the site for interaction of best practices in reducing unnecessary utilization of blood and help
the state work more efficiently towards self sufficiency in blood. The system will provide the
user the option to look at the details of the existing Donor List, Blood Group and to add a new
Donor. It also allows the user to modify the record. The administrator can alter all the system
data.

LITERATURE REVIEW

In a literature survey some of the projects are explained. All these projects are on blood bank
management systems, which means how to manage blood banks and how a recipient can access
blood more easily then previous old traditional methods.In “Short message service (SMS)
based blood bank” by G. Muddu Krishna & S. Nagaraju(2016). They proposed a system in
which services of blood bank will be accessed via SMS. If someone needs blood then they have
to request for blood via SMS and then the packet count module of their system will check for
availability of blood and response will be given by data processing module[9]. Tagny et al.
(2008) has made a conclusion on the status of availability of safe blood and difficulties of
getting safe blood in Africa. It has been found that lacking in development and adoption of
national policy in blood transfusion leads to difficulty in voluntary blood donation in Africa.
They also suggested that funding and proper monitoring for the governance of blood
transfusion services could assure blood availability and safety[10].According to World Health
Organization (2017) availability of safe and sufficient blood and blood products and safe
transfusion system are the indicators of a good healthcare system. It has been found that
developing and low resource countries face more problems in supplying safe and sufficient
blood and blood products for their citizens. World Health Organization (2017) reveals that 180
countries made 112.5 million blood donations in 2013 including both paid and voluntary.
Among donors overall 40% were between 25 years to 44 years and 70% donors were male
(Regional Status Report on Blood Safety and Availability, 2016). The World Health
Organisation (2017) also stated that overall 122 countries had a national policy while 127
countries formed a unit affiliated with the ministry of health to govern the collection and
transfusion of blood and blood products by 2013. It concludes that voluntary blood donation is
the key component to ensure sufficient and safe blood and blood products (“Blood safety and
availability,” n.d.). [11]. Sun, Lu, & Jin (2016) collected data from a Chinese blood bank on
447,357 blood donors and suggested two methods to fulfil shortages of blood. The first method
is to motivate donors to donate blood voluntarily using mobile messages and the second method
is to encourage relatives to donate blood while a family replacement program takes place. Both
methods resulted in an increase in voluntary blood donation in China[12].

PROJECT DETAILS

4.1 Description:

Nowadays managing blood in crucial moments is very challenging. People become anxious
about their patients and they try to find blood donors here and there. Sometimes it becomes
just a waste of time with few results.

We are here to help people to find the ready donor and nearest blood bank when people are
badly seeking blood.

4.2 Working process:

There are several steps for using our systems.

Donor facility:

1. A donor can register himself as a donor

2. Adding his ability of donating the blood
3. Can see the request for blood

User facility:

1. Can see all the donors and blood bank

2. Can filter donor and blood bank according to the blood group and city
3. Sending the request for the blood to donor and blood bank

Admin facilities:

1. Can see donors

2. Update, delete and verify donor

Manager facilities:

1. Manage Blood Bank

 CHAPTER 5
PROJECT DISCUSSION

From the study it has been found that most of the people are unaware of their blood group.
They even fear of donating blood. Although physicians suggest that a person can donate blood
after every four months, people are reluctant to donate blood. Through seminar, campaigns,
symposium, program in electronic media and printing media people can be made aware of
benefits of donating blood regularly. An effective association of educational organizations and
public and private commercial organization with transfusion medicine and other units where
people go for searching blood can create a bridge between seekers and donors. In this regard,
maintaining a central database of people involved in those organizations can reduce effort of
getting donors and managing blood in case of emergency. Although a part of our population
are willing to donate blood, they can’t donate blood due to lack of communication with blood
seekers. Most often donors are not willing to donate blood due to previous bad experience they
had during blood donation. Often donors have to wait for a long time in queue in before
transfusion due to lack of facilities. Using modern technologies and machines can reduce time
in cross matching and associated tests as well. Moreover, training facilities can improve
efficiency of the staffs. Based on the study the following steps can be recommended to improve
the current blood donation scenario of Bangladesh:
1. Encouraging people to donate blood via seminar, symposium, and motivational program
broadcast on electronic media and campaign. This initiative can help to remove the fear of
donating blood among donors.
2. Free blood group checking campaign should be conducted so that people become aware of
their blood group.
3. Database making all over Bangladesh to contact nearest people to donate blood and create
a connection between donors and seekers.
4. Training the people associated with transfusion can improve performance in blood donation
process. ijbm.ccsenet.org International Journal of Business and Management Vol. 14, N
5. Blood bank, hospitals and associated organizations should use modern technologies and
machines for testing, transfusing and preserving blood

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

6.1 Conclusion

The blood management system has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by
developing web applications and the system can be by donor and user etc

We learned many skills such as database modelling, other web tools that we use for this
project and being able to work together as a team during this project .

The demo patient,donor and manager tested successfully on our system to find a donor, blood
bank and request them to donate blood. Thus a blood management system is successfully
developed ,implemented and tested.

6.2 Future Scope:

a. In future we will update our system continuously

b. We will develop live chat feature
c. Track location of the donor etc
