Apheresis Centre is yet another feather that has been added to their cap as it would provide blood components to the needy patients – especially those of Dengue and Cancer”.

Voluntary blood donation movement was started in Chandigarh which has been emulated across the country.

Mr.R.K.Saboo, President of the Rotary and Blood Bank Society Resource Centre emphasised how the new apheresis facility will help patients and hospitals of the Tri-city.  He thanked dignitaries for gracing the occasion.

A senior lawyer, philanthropist, Centurion blood donor, member of the Managing Committee of the Centre and President of the Blood Bank Society, Mr.M.L.Sarin, who was instrumental in getting the grant from the Mo and Minno Sambhi Foundation said that all the machines of the Blood Centre had been replaced and two new apheresis machines purchased for starting the Apheresis Centre, which was need of the hour for the city, especially during the Dengue epidemics.

M.P. Mrs. Kirron Kher said she had been associated with the Blood Centre since its inception in 2004 and was extremely happy with the progress made and the help rendered to the Tri-city in covering the shortage of blood.

The Apheresis facility

An apheresis machine is a device which separates blood into its various components while it is being donated by the donor. Only the component needed by the patient like plasma, is kept, while the rest goes back into the donor’s body. The Apheresis Centre has been set up at a cost of approximately 1 crore rupees.
