Blood Bank was established in 1994 under the name of “NUKEM BLOOD BANK & ROTARY SUZLON BLOOD COMPONENT CENTER – managed by Haria L G Rotary Hospital, Vapi”.
In Nukem Blood Bank, most of the blood for transfusion is collected from family members and friends as replacement donors. Volunteers also often donate blood especially at times of needs of rare blood group. Blood donation is not hazardous and it proves to be a healthy habit that helps blood renewal.

Apheresis Single Donor Machine for Patients:
Aphaeresis is a procedure that involves removing whole blood from a donor or patient and separating the blood into individual components so that one particular component can be removed. The remaining blood components then are re-introduced back into the blood stream of the patient or donor. The main advantage of Apheresis is collections are that more than one dose of platelets or red cells can be collected from one donor per donation, thus reducing patient exposure to multiple donors. Machine is also used in the treatment of blood Cancer & range of other blood disorders.
First Single donor Patient
First Apheresis is done on 09th April 2022. Dr. Ankit Pande ICU Medical Officer gives the blood for Apheresis.
We have collected more than 300 SDP in last two years, as SDP is more beneficial to patients with low platelet count and it decreases the donor exposure to the patient.
