Blood safety standards

Blood safety standards ensure that donated blood is thoroughly tested and screened to prevent the transmission of infections such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. This involves rigorous collection procedures, proper storage, and usage of advanced testing methods to detect any harmful pathogens. Blood banks follow strict guidelines to ensure that blood is safe for patients, maintaining high-quality standards through regular inspections and adherence to international regulations. The goal is to make transfusions safe, reliable, and free from preventable health risks, protecting both donors and recipients.
