Donated blood can be lifesaving for individuals who have lost large amounts of blood because of serious accidents, civil and military conflicts, widespread tragedies or surgery, as well as, for individuals who have become severely anaemic or have dangerously low platelet counts because of certain haematological diseases such as sickle cell anaemia or treatments such as cancer therapy. Therefore, blood is an important concern to the society. A Blood Bank is place where blood is collected from donors, typed, separated into components, stored, and prepared for transfusion to recipients. A blood bank may be a separate free-standing facility or part of a larger laboratory in a hospital. Typically, each donated unit of blood (whole blood) is separated into multiple components, such as red blood cells, plasma and platelets. Each component is generally transfused to a different individual, each with different needs. THQ Hospital Noorpur Thal Blood Bank runs transfusion service 24/7 in order to facilitate patients pertaining to their treatments, surgeries & other related illness
