Blood safety policies

Blood safety policies are guidelines and regulations designed to ensure that donated blood is safe for patients. These policies include careful screening of donors to identify any potential health risks, rigorous testing of blood for infectious diseases, and proper storage and handling practices. They also encompass protocols for blood collection, processing, and distribution, ensuring that the blood supply is both safe and effective for medical use. The goal is to prevent the transmission of diseases and to protect both donors and recipients, ultimately ensuring that life-saving blood transfusions are reliable and safe.
