Prathama Blood Centre was conceptualized in late 90s to establish a modern benchmark for blood banking in India. Our objective of making Prathama (which is Sanskrit means 'First and the Foremost') was to create a modern blood bank, which operates with high efficiency, accuracy of the modern blood banks in the developed countries, but still runs at cost which developing country's economy can absorb.
The three fundamental philosophies guiding Prathama Blood Centre:
- Encourage only non- remunerated voluntary blood donors (NRVBD) and accept no replacement donation ever.
- 100% component preparation and their distribution
- Keep the scale of operations reasonably high to bring down the processing cost of blood components.
