Blood Banks

A blood bank is a facility that collects, tests, processes, and stores blood and blood components (like plasma and platelets) for medical use. It ensures transfusions are safe and compatible with recipients, helping patients in surgeries, trauma, or with medical conditions requiring blood. Blood banks follow strict safety procedures to prevent infections and manage supply. They also organize blood drives to encourage donation from healthy volunteers, maintaining a steady stock of lifesaving blood products needed in healthcare.
