The donor complex remains open throughout the year for the convenience of donors. The donor is received in the screening area of the donor complex and given pre donation counselling and basic blood donor questionnaire is filled along with recording of vital parameters of the donor. A qualified doctor screens the prospective donor to determine his/her suitability for blood donation. This is followed by donor registration.
The next step is phlebotomy and blood collection. During post donation, the donor is kept under observation and refreshment is provided. A trained counsellor is available for pre donation and post donation counselling. All first-time donors are encouraged to become regular repeat donors. The department provides facility for registration of donors for the emergency panel to meet blood and blood component demands during shortages and specific group requirements.
Outdoor voluntary blood donation camps
The Centre organizes regular voluntary blood donation camps (12-15/month) with various organizations, corporate and educational institutions. 100 % of the blood comes from voluntary blood donors. Nearly 40-45% of donors are regular repeat donors. Donor motivation talks are given by a dedicated team under the flagship of Blood Bank Society / Rotary Club before the camps in colleges, offices and social gatherings to promote voluntary blood donation and increase awareness among the people.
The Centre also celebrates National Voluntary Blood Donation Day on 1st October and World Blood
Donor Day on 14th June. Donor cards and certificates are given to all voluntary blood donors and
master cards are issued to donors with four or more donations. An annual event in the form of annual
award function is organised to honour the selfless services of blood/apheresis donors and blood donation camp organisers/organisations/motivators.
