Tripura Minister Says Artificial Blood Still Elusive Despite Tech Advances

Tripura's Minister Sudhangshu Das recently addressed the state assembly, noting that artificial blood remains out of reach despite significant technological progress.

Artificial blood, a synthetic substitute for human blood, has been a focus of medical research worldwide, promising solutions for shortages and transfusion complications.

While several countries report promising pre‑clinical trials, the technology has yet to achieve a commercially viable product, and regulatory hurdles remain.

Das urged the government to increase support for research institutions and to collaborate with international partners to accelerate development.
