Blood Safety Program
A Blood Safety Program ensures that donated blood and blood products are safe for transfusion. It includes strict screening of donors for infections, careful testing of blood for harmful pathogens, and proper handling and storage. The goal is to prevent the transmission of diseases like HIV, hepatitis B and C, and other infections. Additionally, the program follows quality standards and regulations to maintain trust and safety in the blood supply. By implementing these measures, it helps protect patients receiving blood transfusions from preventable health risks.
