Urge Congress to Cut Red Tape to Improve Patient Care and Strengthen the Blood Supply
Congress should work with the Administration to help cut red tape that is negatively impacting the U.S. blood supply
Your Voice Matters: Take Action Now
The U.S. blood supply system is facing critical challenges that require immediate attention from Congress and the Administration. Here's why we need to act now:
Patient care is at stake: The current regulatory environment is hindering the efficient operation of blood centers, potentially impacting patient care and access to life-saving blood products. By streamlining processes and modernizing regulations, we can ensure that patients receive the timely care they need.
Unnecessary waste of resources: Outdated regulations and duplicative requirements are leading to wasted resources, both in terms of time and blood products. This inefficiency not only increases costs but also reduces the availability of crucial blood components for patients in need.
Urgent need for modernization: As medical technology advances, our regulatory framework must keep pace. Failing to update testing requirements and other regulations to match modern capabilities is holding back progress in blood safety and availability.
