Blood Banks and Eye Banks in Vellore

A blood bank is a bank of blood components which is collected by blood donation and preserved for blood transfusion later. Many seriously sick patients are in need of blood and these blood banks supply bottles of blood of the required blood group to such patients.

An 'allogeneic' or 'homologous' blood donation is that in which the donor gives blood to a blood bank for storage. This blood is later given to any needy recipient unknown to the donor. However, a 'directed' donation is that in which the donor is a family member or when he gives blood to a specific individual.
