The Terna Blood Bank works 24×7 to accommodate a need of patient when it arises. With a Component Blood Bank, we are able to supply both whole blood as well as its components such as packed cells, platelet concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and saline washed packed cells.

Terna Blood Bank is inspected and audited by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) who has laid down standards for management of blood banks.

We do exchange of blood and blood products across our member-hospitals whenever the need arises. It helps in supporting the lives of several patients who need blood urgently.
