New Delhi: Thalassemic patients urged Parliament to urgently pass the National Blood Transfusion Bill , 2025, which aims to regulate blood transfusions and ensure safe blood for patients.

The National Blood Transfusion Bill , 2025, a private member bill, was proposed by MP Parshottambhai Rupala in Lok Sabha and by Dr Ajeet Madhavrao Gopchade in Rajya Sabha .
