About Transfusion Medicine
Transfusion medicine ensures a safe, adequate blood supply and appropriate use of blood and its components. Blood is tested for infections and carefully matched before use.
Know your blood group, and consider voluntary blood donation, which is safe for healthy adults. Report any fever, chills or rash during transfusion immediately.
