Archil Jaliashvili: NATO Blood Panel Warns That The System Won’t Hold Under Real Surge Conditions
Archil Jaliashvili, Co-owner, General Manager of SkinAI, Co-Chief Executive Officer at GeoBio Pharm, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Nadira Frescalinea et al, published in The Lancet:
”Blood is not just a medical resource.
It’s infrastructure. It’s strategy. It’s sovereignty.
The warning from the NATO Blood Panel (via AABB, The Lancet) is clear:
The system won’t hold under real surge conditions.
- Reality
- 42-day shelf life
- Cold chain dependency
- Fragile logistics
Works in hospitals. Fails in disruption.
- Where it matters most
- Pre-hospital
- Battlefield
- Accidents
- Early transfusion equals survival
The gap:
It’s not donors.
It’s function delivery under pressure.
BHOC – what we believe
BHOC – Biological Hemoglobin Oxygen Carrier can fill the gap:
- Restore blood oxygenation immediately
- Controlled oxygen delivery
- Low-risk side effects
- No blood typing, no cold chain
- Rapid deployment where it matters most
Early oxygen delivery saves lives.
Top of that
What’s your opinion why we transfuse blood ?
What we treat ? How we define needs and outcome ?
