Program Summary
Haematology, Blood Transfusion and Immunology is a multidisciplinary course that focuses on the study of blood, its components, and the immune system. It explores the formation, function, and disorders of blood cells, including red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The course delves into the principles and practices of blood transfusion, including donor selection, blood group compatibility, and the prevention of transfusion-related complications. Immunology, a key component of the course, examines the body's defense mechanisms against infections and diseases, covering both innate and adaptive immunity. Students learn about immune responses, antigen-antibody interactions, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmunity, and immunodeficiency disorders. The course also integrates laboratory techniques used in diagnosing haematological and immunological conditions, promoting a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and their clinical management. It provides essential knowledge for careers in medical laboratories, clinical diagnostics, research, and healthcare services.
