Blood Bank
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
"Those who have experienced the joy of giving know for sure, that it is an eternal spring. It costs nothing & is still a priceless jewel, the value of which can only be known by either the hand that gives or the hand that receives."
Our Blood Bank Services
There is always a significant, ongoing need for blood and blood products. Because there is no substitute for human blood, the generosity of blood donors helps to ensure that we maintain an adequate supply for our patients.
Our licensed blood bank ensures the critical provisioning of blood and blood components that are collected, typed and screened for HIV, HBsAG, HCV, Malaria and Syphilis for both in-house and outside patients.
