Department of Blood Centre

Blood Centre Overview

The Blood Centre is a fully functional, state-of-the-art facility that operates round the clock (24x7) to meet the urgent and routine transfusion needs of patients. Equipped with advanced technology and staffed by highly trained professionals, the centre ensures timely availability of safe and high-quality blood components to support patient care both within the hospital and across the region.

Available Blood Components

The centre provides a comprehensive range of blood products including:

• Whole Blood

• Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBC) – used for patients with anemia or blood loss

• Platelet Concentrate (PC) – essential for patients with low platelet counts

The team works diligently to ensure that all protocols for donor screening, blood collection, processing, and storage meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
