Honestly, I think artificial blood could be a massive breakthrough for a country like India. Every year, we face major blood shortages - especially during accidents, childbirth emergencies, or surgeries in rural hospitals. Finding the right blood group in time is often a matter of life and death. If artificial blood becomes reliable and affordable, it can literally save lakhs of lives. We won’t have to rely solely on voluntary donations, and small hospitals won’t have to send people running to blood banks in the middle of the night. But at the same time, I do hope this technology isn’t locked behind high costs or big pharma patents. For it to truly revolutionize healthcare in India, it has to be accessible, affordable, and safe for the masses - not just something available in private hospitals or metro cities. If done right, artificial blood could be one of the most important innovations in Indian medical history.
