Pennsylvania HB1997 mandates health care facilities to provide patients with autologous and direct allogeneic blood transfusions.

Pennsylvania HB1997, known as the Autologous and Direct Allogeneic Blood Transfusion Act, requires health care facilities to allow patients to use their own blood or that of a specified donor for transfusions during medical procedures. This act aims to reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions, minimizing risks such as transfusion reactions and infectious disease transmission.
