Donor Area
By checking donors for a history of communicable diseases, this sector offers services to process blood that is completely safe. Every donor is undergoing a proper medical evaluation. On the spot, professional donors are being turned away. The department is currently using SAGM Triple Bags to give patients receiving treatment from the many super-specialties that are exclusive to this institute superior quality blood and 100% component facilities. In addition, the Department supplies other large hospitals in the valley with high-quality components.
Cross Match Area
To reduce the possibility of a transfusion reaction, the Department only distributes blood following appropriate cross-matching. From receiving blood and its components to delivering them, proper quality control is maintained at every stage.
Advanced Immunohematology Lab
Regular blood and component screening for HbsAG, HIV, HCV, VDRL, malaria, and other abnormal antibodies is carried out by the Department. Additionally, the Department handles hemophilia. Additionally, the department routinely provides free platelet counts and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to patients receiving chemotherapy who have low platelet counts. Every day, roughly 30 units of these components are distributed. Additionally, the Department offers protein supplements to a number of chronically ill patients. The department is prepared to handle any kind of emergency at any moment and is addressing the needs of numerous super-specialties that require large transfusions, such as CVTS, neurosurgeries, hepatic operations, accident & emergencies, etc.
