Transfusion Medicine
Our Mission :
“To provide safe and quality transfusion products and services timely, as well as contributing to education, research and training of medical and paramedical personnel in the field of transfusion medicine so as to benefit the overall well being of the patient” . The Department of Transfusion Medicine is committed to provide the highest quality of Transfusion support both in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic modes of treatment round the clock and advanced Immunohematological testing to the patients and the donors. Brief outline of the department and its role in the hospital are mentioned as under:
- We appreciate and encourage voluntary donors by increasing the awareness and education regarding blood donation and also honour them
- The second most important aspect is to provide safe units in terms of transfusion transmitted infections for which we have a highly sensitive screening test based on the principle of chemiluminescence to reduce the number of false negatives.
- The third important aspect is precise serological testing in patients and donors samples for which we have gel techniques, extended phenotyping and antibody screening and typing facilities which enables us to select the best match unit for the patient.
- The fourth important aspect is the therapeutic mode of intervention for which we have the facility of plasma exchange, cascade plasmapheresis, therapeutic apheresis and therapeutic phlebotomy.
- To sub serve the aforementioned aims we have a dedicated and a well trained staff who all hold patients overall well being in the highest regards and adhere strictly to SOPs (standard operating procedures) and GMP (good manufacturing practices).
