Emergency Contact Number: 0315-4872464 The transfusion of blood and blood products remains a highly effective and potentially life-saving treatment for many patients. However, blood is a living tissue and its transfusion, from one individual to another, is not without risk. Husaini Blood Bank has been taking care of safe blood transfusion since its establishment in 1979. Husaini Blood Bank ensures the provision of safe blood to the patients’ community at large without any discrimination of caste, creed, race, religion or color. Earlier, it was a normal practice to purchase blood from commercial blood banks whose source of blood was drug addicts who sold their blood for money. This was not safe as the blood sellers were not only selling blood frequently, reducing the potency of blood, but also sharing infected syringes among themselves causing transmission of deadly viral diseases like hepatitis “B” and “C” to the patients through their blood. The blood bank has a facility to split one unit of whole blood into 6 different blood components. Besides, there are 10 computerized apheresis machines used to extract any particular required component of blood from a healthy voluntary donor. This technology enables to extract certain components to a maximum limit of 15-20 units out of a single donor without causing any injury to the donor. Otherwise, it would require 15-20 donors. The blood bank has been maintaining the pride of being pioneer in adopting advanced blood bank techniques. At present other blood banks in the country are striving to achieve elisa based blood screening system while Husaini has switched over from conventional Elisa to the most advanced chemiluminescent technology for blood screening to go one step ahead and ensure safe blood for the patients.
