Our motto is to provide adequate and timely supply of safe and quality blood and blood components, duly tested and free from transfusion-transmitted infections, in a timely manner to the right patient (RIGHT BLOOD, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PATIENT).
We are gradually phasing out replacement donors and moving towards voluntary non-remunerated blood donation. We have striven hard to bring world class technologies to our institute for the operation of our blood transfusion services and ensured its functioning in an updated manner. Universal precautions are strictly adhered to, and the guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practices are followed in all the sections of blood banking
