Blood Bank and Transfusion Medicine

Transfusion Medicine & Blood Bank is the speciality, dealing with collection, processing and storage and then transfer of blood or blood component from an individual’s bloodstream to another individual’s bloodstream. Autologous transfusion (transfusion of one’s own blood) is the safest method but not all the candidates are suitable for the same.

Some of the most advanced technologies and state of the art equipments have been used at the department to ensure that blood available for transfusion is safe. We follow stringent quality control practices and use appropriate parameters for testing a defined number of units. The issued blood is always tested for HIV I & II, HCV, VDRL, HBs Ag & Malaria.
