Welcome to the Blood Bank at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our blood bank plays a critical role in ensuring a safe and reliable supply of blood and blood products for patients in need. We are dedicated to maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and efficiency in our blood banking services.
At Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital, we understand the importance of blood transfusion in various medical situations, including surgeries, treatments for cancer, childbirth, and emergency care. Our blood bank operates under strict protocols and guidelines to ensure the availability of compatible and safe blood products.
Key services provided by our Blood Bank include:
Blood Donation: We organize regular blood donation drives and welcome voluntary blood donors. We screen potential donors to ensure the safety of donated blood and provide a comfortable and hygienic environment for the donation process. We appreciate the generosity of our blood donors, as their contributions help save lives.
Blood Typing and Cross-Matching: We perform blood typing to determine an individual’s blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh factor (positive or negative). Cross-matching involves testing the compatibility of donated blood with the recipient’s blood to minimize the risk of adverse reactions during transfusion.
Blood Storage and Inventory Management: Our blood bank maintains proper storage conditions for different blood components, including whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. We have advanced refrigeration and monitoring systems to ensure the integrity and quality of the stored blood. Our inventory management system helps us track available blood products and their expiration dates.
Blood Component Preparation: We prepare various blood components based on patient needs. This includes separating whole blood into its components, such as red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, through a process called blood fractionation. This allows us to provide specific blood components that are required for different medical conditions.
Transfusion Services: Our blood bank collaborates closely with healthcare providers to provide timely and appropriate blood transfusions to patients in need. We follow strict protocols to verify patient identification, match blood products accurately, and monitor transfusion reactions to ensure patient safety.
Compatibility Testing: We perform pre-transfusion testing to determine compatibility between donated blood and the recipient’s blood. This includes performing antibody screening and identification tests to detect any antibodies that may cause adverse reactions during transfusion.
At Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital, patient safety is our top priority. We follow rigorous testing procedures, quality control measures, and adhere to international standards and regulations for blood banking. Our dedicated team of trained professionals, including hematologists, laboratory technologists, and transfusion specialists, work together to ensure the highest level of safety and care in blood transfusion services.
If you or your loved one requires a blood transfusion, please be assured that our Blood Bank at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital is committed to providing safe, compatible, and high-quality blood products. Our goal is to support patients in need and contribute to their health and well-being through our blood banking services.
