Prathama on World Thalassemia Day 2016, introduced Nucleic acid testing (NAT) of donated blood to reduce the risk of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) in people receiving blood. Transfusion of unsafe blood that has not been screened for window period, cases of viral infections could increase the risk of Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTIs) and at times be life-threatening. NAT has proven effective in detecting such window period infections. Safe blood plays a life saving role in Thalassemia patients who need blood at regular intervals. Thalassemia prevalence in India is 3-4%, with 10,000 to 12,000 reported thalassemia births taking place every year. It is also estimated that there are 30 million thalassemia carriers in the country. With NAT tested blood, these patients live longer and maintain quality of life.<ref> | Prathama on World Thalassemia Day 2016, introduced [[Nucleic acid testing]] (NAT) of donated blood to reduce the risk of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) in people receiving blood.

On 20 July 2013 Prathama had organized a blood camp in Kadi, a town in the state of Gujarat where a young donor was reportedly died 3 hours after the donation. This resulted a ban on the blood center from conducting outdoor camps for collection of blood by the Gujarat state council for blood transfusion.<ref>{{cite news |title=Prathama barred from holding outdoor blood donation camps {{!}} Ahmedabad News - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/prathama-barred-from-holding-outdoor-blood-donation-camps/articleshow/22195853.cms |work=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref> | |||
