Archil Jaliashvili: The Real Battle Is Not About Blood Volume — It Is About Oxygen

Archil Jaliashvili, Co-owner, General Manager of SkinAI, Co-Chief Executive Officer at GeoBio Pharm, shared BHOC – Biological Hemoglobin Oxygen Carrier’s post on LinkedIn:

”The problem is not staying – it is escalating.

Blood and plasma shortages are not just persisting; they are deepening by the day.

And now, new forces are piling on:

new pandemics,
wars and conflicts,
natural disasters,
logistical breakdowns,
soaring costs,
emerging viruses,
and ever more demanding tests.
cold chain problem

These are not isolated hurdles – they are a new reality that demands a new understanding.

What is that understanding?

It is this: we must rethink what blood truly is – what we are actually doing, and what we truly need.

Today we state this clearly:

We are not talking about a ‘blood substitute’.

That is the old language.

We are talking about an Precise Oxygenation Therapeutics – to support one of the many critical functions of blood.

BUT – as clear it is main , fundamental function for life, healing, functioning

And here is the key insight:

It is not only about whether blood is available or not.

Even when blood is present – even when supplies are adequate – the blood as an organ still needs support.

We must increase its oxygen-delivery capacity – not just in cases of massive blood loss , hemoglobin level or repeated transfusions, but as a proactive measure to meet the oxygen demands of every patient in crisis.

Because the real battle is not about volume – it is about oxygen.
And that changes everything.”

BHOC – Biological Hemoglobin Oxygen Carrier shared a post on LinkedIn:

”This BBC News article from April 11, 2001, reports that South Africa became the first country in the world to approve a human blood substitute for use in transfusions .

25 years ago, the world already recognized that oxygen delivery does not necessarily have to depend on donor blood.

Dr. Luc Noel was the Coordinator for Blood Transfusion Safety at the WHO in Geneva. He was quoted as saying, “If there is any alternative that is safer than the potential risks of transfusions, then it should be used”
