(2 of 2) [CW-12718/2016] He further submits that the committee itself has concluded in its report that NAT is not mandatory in every blood bank. He further pointed out that presently, facility of blood analysis through NAT is available at two centers in the State of Rajasthahn. ELISA IV Generation test which is acceptable universally, is comprehensive and acceptable all over the world and the State has approved the usage of this test in all the blood banks. This court is apprised that proper manpower in terms of the committee's report is not available in all blood banks across the State of Rajasthan and thus, the sensitive equipments are not being put to proper use.
In view of the statement so made, we hereby direct the Medical and Health Department, Government of Rajasthan to ensure that proper medical and technical staff, wherever required, is selected and appointed in the blood banks across the State of Rajasthan at the earliest and as far as possible within next six months. The ELISA IV test kits shall henceforth be used uniformly in all blood banks/centers.
With the above directions, proceedings of this writ petition (public interest litigation) are disposed of.
