Welcome
“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
A blood bank is a medical facility that collects, tests, stores, and distributes blood and its components to hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. The main purpose of a blood bank is to provide a safe and reliable supply of blood to patients in need, whether they are undergoing surgery, suffering from a medical condition, or recovering from an injury.
Blood banks typically collect blood from volunteer donors who have been screened for various infectious diseases and medical conditions. The blood is then tested to determine its blood type and screened for any infectious diseases or other conditions that could be transmitted to the recipient.
Once the blood has been tested and deemed safe for transfusion, it is stored in refrigerated units until it is needed. Blood banks also maintain an inventory of blood products, such as red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, which can be transfused separately as needed.
Blood donation is a critical and ongoing need in healthcare, and donating blood can help save lives. If you are interested in donating blood, contact your local blood bank or healthcare provider for more information on how to get started.
