Blood Transfusions

Blood transfusions are a common and essential supportive treatment used in non-cancerous hematologic conditions. They help replace missing or deficient components of the blood—such as red blood cells, platelets, or plasma—allowing patients to recover strength, prevent complications, and improve their quality of life. A blood transfusion is a medical procedure in which blood or blood components are transferred from one person (a donor) into another person’s bloodstream. It's commonly used to replace blood lost during surgery, injury, or due to certain illnesses that affect blood components.
