This blood bank has the honour to supply whole blood and red cell concentrate (RCC), as much as can be spared from our hospital needs, to Fatimid Foundation and Punjab Red Crescent Society for the care of thalassemia patients.

Transfusion of one unit of Platelet Concentrate prepared by cell separator (Single Donor) provides an increment of 80 X 10 3 / ul in patient’s platelet count instead of about 7 X 10 3 / u/l by manual method (Random Donor).
