Our Blood Bank Function
Blood Donation
Blood banks arrange and host blood donation drives to collect blood from eligible donors. They make certain that the donation process is secure and simple for donors.
Blood Screening
Donated blood is thoroughly screened for infectious diseases including HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and other possible pollutants. This screening contributes to the safety of the blood supply.
Blood Component Preparation
Typically, blood is split into various components such as red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. This enables the usage of specific components based on the demands of the patient requirement
Blood Storage
To ensure their viability, blood banks keep donated blood and blood products in specialised refrigeration units. To ensure the purity of the blood components, these storage facilities maintain stringent temperature control.
Blood Compatibility Testing
Blood banks do tests for compatibility before transfusing blood to a patient to ensure a match between the donor’s blood and the recipient’s blood type. This lowers the possibility of negative responses during transfusion.
Blood Transfusion
Blood banks supply hospitals and healthcare facilities with blood and blood components for transfusion to patients in emergency. They keep an inventory of multiple blood types and components to satisfy the various needs of patients.
Emergency Blood Supply
Blood banks serve an important role in providing blood during emergencies and disasters. They work with local healthcare providers to provide a quick response and to meet the high demand for blood.
Specialty Services
Blood banks provide specialized services such as providing rare blood types or special blood products required to treat particular medical ailments. These services cater to patients who have specific transfusion needs.
Patient Support and Counseling
Blood banks may offer people who require blood transfusions or have blood-related diseases support and counselling. They provide patients and their families with information, assistance, and emotional support to help them understand and cope with their disease.
