All donated blood is screened for Hepatitis B & C, HIV, Syphilis, and Malaria, ensuring maximum transfusion safety.

Every donation is used efficiently by separating it into vital components:

• PRBC (Packed Red Blood Cells)
• Platelet Concentrate (RDP)
• Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)
• Cryoprecipitate
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

• Plasma: Frozen within 6 hours at –30°C to –40°C, shelf life: 1 year
