The Blood Bank at Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth (KVV) was established in 1984. In 2003, under the Government of India’s Blood Bank Modernization Scheme, it was comprehensively upgraded into a full-fledged component blood bank. Today, it is recognized and registered as a Regional Blood Transfusion Center under the State Blood Transfusion Council, Maharashtra, and is NABH-accredited (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers).
The Blood Bank is responsible for the collection of blood, processing of whole blood, preparation of blood components, safe storage of blood and components, and appropriate disposal of contaminated units.
It also houses a dedicated Plasmapheresis Unit, which played a significant role during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting patient care through advanced plasma collection services.
Currently, the Blood Bank prepares four major blood components: Packed Red Cells (PCV/PCU), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP), Platelet Concentrate (PC), and Cryoprecipitate (CRYO). In addition to service delivery, it functions as a training center for blood bank officers and technologists from other blood banks, contributing to capacity building and quality transfusion practices.
