(A Must have Companion for Technologists, Post-Graduate Students, Blood Centre Officers and Faculties to understand National Quality Control Standard)

Behind every successful transfusion is a chain of dedicated individuals: The Blood Centre Transfusion Specialist/Medical Officer who acts as the vital bridge between the laboratory, the donor, and the clinical bedside, the Phlebotomist who puts a nervous donor at ease, the Technologist who works through the night to Crossmatch a rare unit, and most importantly, the Voluntary donors. Without their selfless contribution, the halls of any Blood Centre would fall silent. This book aligns with both NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) and JCI (Joint Commission International) guidelines.

Unlike other theoretical texts, this book is specifically designed as a technical resource aligned with the current standards of transfusion medicine practiced in the daily routine of Blood Centres. Our focus remains on the "how" and "why" of the bench—translating rigorous regulatory requirements into efficient, safe, and reproducible laboratory workflows. By bridging the gap between high-level theory and day-to-day operational excellence, this book serves as a definitive companion for those on the front lines of transfusion safety.

The chapters are organized to follow the journey of a unit of blood—from donor recruitment and phlebotomy to component separation, screening, and finally, crossmatching and issue. We have included the procedure for mandatory registration in ONDLS portal, Applying for license, Troubleshooting Tables and Annexure for common laboratory procedures and discrepancies (e.g., ABO discrepancies or positive DAT results etc.) to help you identify the cause and the corrective action quickly.

It is my hope that this text not only informs practice but also inspires a deeper respect for the critical role the Blood Centre plays in the modern healthcare ecosystem. While this book provides a robust technical framework, it should always be used in conjunction with your specific facility’s approved SOPs and local health authority guidelines.
