Observes Blood Donors’ Day
World Blood Donors’ Day was observed by the Blood Bank of the Hospital on 14 June 2019 by organising Donor Motivation Classes for the patients and their relatives, and honouring regular voluntary blood donors of the Hospital. Blood Donors day is observed as a mark of respect to Dr Karl Landsteiner, who distinguished blood groups as early as in 1900.
The Lifeline Hospital has a full-fledged Transfusion Medicine Department, which was opened in October 2014. Sophisticated equipment and facilities are available in the Blood Bank for the preparation, storage and supply of different blood products like whole blood, packed red blood cells concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, single donor plasma, platilet, etc.
