The first provincial assembly elections in Nepal was held in two phase on 26 November 2017 and on 7 December 2017. As the government changed its structure through the constitution of Nepal. Nepal Red Cross Society also needed to change its structure as per the government's setup. Thus, NRCS reformed its statute on 47th General Convention of the central assembly held at Biratnagar. As per the new statue NRCS has changed its structure into four levels – local, district, provincial and central levels.[5]

Nepal Red Cross Society has district chapters in all 77 districts of the country. These district chapters receive organizational support from Sub-Chapters at local level, Junior/ Youth Red Cross Circles in district level and coordinating committees under them.

Sub-Chapters are the local level committees reaching every ward of the district. The working area of sub-chapters are divided into various wards of the Village / Municipality / Metropolitan City.

The Central Blood Transfusion Service Center (CBTSC) in Kathmandu is responsible for management of services in the Kathmandu valley, and for supervising and monitoring the technical standards of the district centers, providing guidance to ensure the collection and supply of safe blood.

Five regions have blood transfusion service centers at Biratnagar, Chitwan, Pokhra, Nepalganj and Dhangadhi. Those provide local services, and thus there is no distinct functioning management structure at the regional level.

The district BTSCs are managed by NRCS district chapters. These centres are supposed to comply with guidelines provided under the 1983 NRCS regulations and the 1998 Standard Operating Procedures.
