The current pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is going to be a prolonged melee. Identifying crucial areas, proactive planning, coordinated strategies and their timely implication is essential for smooth functioning of any system during a crunch. Addressing the impact of COVID-19 on transfusion services, there are 4 potential challenges viz. blood/ component shortage, donor/ staff safety, consumable supply/ logistics and catering to the convalescent plasma need. In this review article, we will be discussing about these potential challenges in detail along with the necessary mitigative steps to be adopted to tide over the COVID-19 crisis in an Indian set up.
