The HNN blood bank plays a critical role in providing safe blood components such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitates, preparing around 7,200 units annually for transfusion. These components are essential in various medical procedures, including massive bleeding, severe trauma, snake bites, heart surgeries, transplants, and spinal surgeries.
The blood bank also supports treatments for conditions like leukemia, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and exchange transfusions. The improved facilities will enable the bank to operate more efficiently and effectively, ensuring a reliable supply of blood products to meet the diverse needs of the hospital’s patients.
The renovation of the blood bank represents a significant investment in the future of pediatric healthcare in Costa Rica. It reinforces the HNN’s dedication to providing state-of-the-art medical services and underscores the importance of community support in ensuring the well-being of the nation’s children.
