Performance of a large Brazilian network of blood banks during the <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 pandemic: Impact assessment and time series analysis (2016–2023)
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the hemotherapy system in Minas Gerais, resulting in a drop in the production of blood components. The operation of Hemominas as a network of blood centers contributed to mitigating the effects of the pandemic, alleviating the scarcity of blood components, especially in the most populated cities, where blood donation was very affected and where the largest and most complex hospitals are located.
