One unit of donated blood may be ivided into components, including red cell concentrates, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and platelet concentrates, to meet the needs of more than one patient.The following elements are essential for safe and effective blood component processing: 1. Commitment and support by health authorities for sustainable, well-organized, coordinated blood transfusion services, with adequate resources and quality system for all areas. 2.
