HLL Lifecare Limited, a mini-ratna public sector enterprise under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has obtained the all India first licence for IS/ISO 3826-1 : 2019 for plastics collapsible containers for human blood and blood components. With this, the HLL has become the first manufacturer in India to meet the rigorous standards for blood bags used in critical blood transfusion services. The Bureau of Indian Standards felicitated the HLL for the achievement at a function held at HLL’s Corporate Research and Development (R&D) Centre in the capital on Friday.
