Blood bank infra upgraded
The A.S. Raja Voluntary Blood Centre, Visakhapatnam, upgraded its infrastructure with three machines – the Thermofisher 16-bucket centrifuge (Germany), a modern blood collection monitor and the Archimede Automatic Component Extractor – to enhance efficiency and safety in blood processing, according to a release here on Saturday.
The equipment was inaugurated by Nagesh Motamari (100-time blood donor), Rana Pratap (a regular donor who marked the occasion by donating blood), among others who promote voluntary blood donation.
Established in 1995, the centre continued to play a key role in ensuring safe blood supply, supporting children with Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia, and advancing healthcare services in Visakhapatnam, the release added.
