Procedure to procure blood
When you need blood, your doctor will advise you to get a specific component in specific quantity.
If it is planned surgery you could have some time at your disposal to intimate or book the needed component with blood centre. You should visit the blood centre with Doctor’s prescription and blood sample of patient for cross match purpose.
How do I get Blood?
When you present doctor’s prescription and blood sample of the patient, depending on the availability of stock, the Organisation Desk takes your sample and
forward it to Cross match Desk.If you are a regular blood donor, you should present your 'Donor Booklet’ and 'Priority Voucher’ to avail applicable benefits.
 
 
How much time it will take to get blood?
 
It takes about 1 and ½ to 2 hours to cross match the blood sample and provide you with needed component.
When you need more than 1 component it may take little more time as various technical and medial precautions are taken before handing over the component to you.
Why replacement is not accepted?
  Prathama doesn’t accept replacement with the donors. Replacement donations are those donations where a patient brings a donor to donate blood with blood bank. This donor could be a paid or professional donor or some one close to the patient and intend to hide some facts from the medical examiner to procure blood component. With this the blood donation could become riskier. It is also highly unscientific and many developed countries have discontinued this practice.
Sample Pick up & delivery
  Prathama offers the facility of sample pick up and delivery of components from distant hospitals. The patient need not come all the way to blood centre. A nominal charge is levied towards this service to accommodate the cost. With this the patient could get needed blood component without any hassle.
Why blood Testing charge?
  Prathama administers only approved testing charges uniformly from all the patients/ hospitals in the city. The blood testing charges are controlled by government norms and no blood centre could charge beyond the approved cost norms. It could only recover the costs that it incurred during the blood banking process with in these limits.Prathama follows international quality standards in blood collection, processing and distribution . These activities involve reasonable costs as most of the equipment, materials are imported for this purpose. With in this cost Prathama manages to provide possible discounts to poor and needy patients.
