The primary aspect of blood safety measure is to ensure that the donated blood does not cause harm. Our blood bank follows stringent SOPs and protocols to ensure safety and quality of blood and blood products used in our hospital is in par with clinical standards worldwide. We follow and implement stringent protocols while collecting blood, plasma and other blood components from donors. Once the blood is collected it is screened thoroughly for transfusion related transmissible infections, including HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis, other infection markers, blood grouping and compatibility testing, and systems for processing blood into blood products (blood components for transfusion and plasma derived-medicinal products), as appropriate, to meet health care needs. We recommend blood transfusion only when it is absolutely necessary and practice safter clinical transfusion protocols. Our staff is well trained in maintaining and assessing quality standards.

We have a highly stringent infection control program in place which restricts the spread of infection among patients and clinical and support staff in our hospital. This helps to reduce patient’s morbidity/mortality, decrease length of hospital stay for patients and thereby the cost associated. We use a set of standard operating procedures and precautions while caring for our patients. Infection control measures include practicing hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) while handling infectious materials or patients with an infectious disease, following respiratory hygiene through usage of masks, following cough etiquette principles, disinfecting and cleaning thoroughly equipments/devices/instruments used for patient care, cleaning and disinfecting the environment every day regularly, handling textiles and laundry carefully, ensuring needles and biowastes are disposed as per standard norms and following safe injection processes, cleaning of wounds, etc
