Safe and Quality Blood

BHORUKA Blood Bank

Haematology & Blood Transfusion Bhoruka Research Centre for Haematology and Blood Transfusion (BRCHBT), popularly known as Bhoruka Blood Bank was established on 17th January 1982 by Late Sri P.D. Agarwal. Since then it has covered a long uninterrupted journey of 25 years and nothing could put a break to that. It is the first private blood bank in Calcutta, which was established with a mission of public welfare. A team of highly efficient and dedicated technicians are working tirelessly throughout the day & night to provide safe blood and blood components to the patients recquiring transfusion due to various reasons.
Prestigious Regional Blood Transfusion Centre status is well maintained by us.

Component Preparation

Bhoruka Blood Bank is continuing campaign for the rational use of blood, 'The Red Gold Campaign'. The rational use of blood means that effective use is made of available resources by transfusing only when necessary, giving only what is needed. Crisis of summer months can be dealt with the help of the blood components to a large extent ensuring maximum utilization of blood.

Achievements

•  1 doctor and technician from the Blood Bank went to Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, for a fortnight's training on Apheresis techniques.
An automated Hematological cell counter has been installed in the blood bank, with the help of which, screening of donor parameters becomes easy and reproducible.
The ISO 9001:2000 norm was confirmed after the Compliance Audit.
The prestigious Regional Blood Transfusion Center status was maintained.

The Future

•  Bhoruka is planning to install Column Cross Match Technique before dispatching the blood and products.

Observation of World Voluntary Blood Donor's Day

Celebrated on the 14th of June, 2007 similarly as the previous years. 'Mobile Blood Donation Campaign' was held on that day.

Seropositivity Status

Total number of blood units found as sero positive for different transfusion transmitted diseases in the year 2007 is 205 (174 in 2006). Those blood units were discarded including the components. Rejection of those valuable blood and blood components has inclined us to formulate a process which can reduce the collection of sero positive blood units.
Sero-reactive status of blood unit (2007) Number Percentage
Hepatitis B 98 1.15%
Hepatitis C 29 0.34%
VDRL 58 0.68%
