Centralized Blood Bank Management System

Introduction:

The field of Transfusion Medicine is a branch of medicine which is concerned with the proper use of blood and blood components in the treatment of or prevention of diseases. It encompasses all aspects of blood donation, immunohematology testing, transfusion practices, therapeutic apheresis, stem cell collections, cellular therapy, coagulation etc., It plays a very critical role in provision of patient care services in any health care centre.

The Department of Transfusion Medicine and Blood Centre was established in the year 2007 initially as a Blood Bank which was upgraded to the department as it is today very recently in July 2022.It was through the able guidance and efforts of the then Director of NEIGRIHMS, DR R.K. Sarma, HOD, Pathology, Dr Vandana Raphael, MO, Dr Lutika Nepram and Lab Tech, Mr Debdutta Bhattacharyya, that the Blood Bank was established as a whole blood collection and processing Bank. It was upgraded to a BCSU in 2009. All aspects from processing of blood for component separation to Immunohaematological testing, Transfusion Transmissible Infection testing to Quality Control tests are done in fully automated machines and systems.

Emphasis and importance is attached to strict adherence to quality control at every step of all processes performed in all sections as per Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure quality of our products and services.
