Our Blood Bank is equipped with modern facilities for the collection, testing, processing, storage, and distribution of blood and blood components.

- Normal Human Plasma: Used in selected clinical situations as recommended by the treating doctor.
- Platelet Concentrates (Random Donor Platelets and Single Donor Platelets): Recommended for patients with low platelet counts, such as those undergoing cancer treatment, suffering from dengue-related thrombocytopenia, or certain blood disorders.
- Cryoprecipitate: Used to treat specific clotting factor deficiencies and selected bleeding conditions.
- Specialised Blood Components: Irradiated and leucodepleted blood components are available when clinically indicated and prescribed by the treating specialist.
