The Rotary Central-TTK-VHS Blood
Bank is one of the best in Chennai. It is licensed by the Drug Controller
and all blood samples are screened for HIV, Hepatitis and VDRL. With its
modern, sophisticated equipment, it follows stringent quality measures in
blood donor selection, collection of blood, processing of blood, and blood
group serology. VHS has so far conducted around 2000 voluntary blood donation
camps and continues to regularly do so in and around the city. It has made a
name for itself as a source of quality and safe blood not only for its own
patients, but also for many hospitals in Chennai. A Haemophilia Care Centre,
established jointly with the Haemophilia Society - Madras Chapter, is housed
at VHS. As part of its programme, comprehensive care is provided to
haemophiliacs, and free blood components are given to deserving patients.
