Program Summary
Haematology & Blood Transfusion is a specialized medical course that focuses on the study of blood, its components, and related disorders. It covers the physiology and pathology of blood cells, bone marrow, and the coagulation system, emphasizing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various haematological conditions such as anaemia, leukaemia, haemophilia, and other bleeding or clotting disorders. The course also includes the principles and practice of blood transfusion, ensuring safe and effective blood collection, processing, storage, and transfusion to patients in need.
Students learn laboratory techniques for blood analysis, including microscopy, haemoglobin electrophoresis, and molecular diagnostics. Immunohaematology, which deals with blood group typing and compatibility testing, is a crucial aspect of the program, ensuring safe transfusion practices. The course integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills in laboratory settings and clinical environments, preparing graduates for careers in medical laboratories, hospitals, blood banks, and research institutions. Ethical considerations, regulatory guidelines, and advancements in haematology and transfusion medicine are also explored to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the field.
