Greetings
Blood Bank is located on the first basement floor of the hospital building and is staffed with 17 staff members, including one physician certified by the Japan Society of Transfusion Medicine and Cell Therapy and the Japan Society of Autologous Blood Transfusion, and eight technicians certified by the Japan Society of Transfusion Medicine and Cell Therapy. Blood Bank tests, manages, stores, and distributes blood to provide safe and appropriate transfusions and hematopoietic cell transplants to patients. In addition to testing, the room also collects autologous blood from patients undergoing elective surgery. Patient safety is our number one priority, and we work closely with each department. If you have any questions about transfusions, transplant medicine, regenerative medicine, or other products, please visit Blood Bank or contact the hospital representative.

Overview
Blood Bank is responsible for transfusion testing (blood type, irregular antibodies, cross-matching, etc.) when patients require a transfusion, as well as managing, storing, and distributing blood products for transfusion. We also collect autologous blood for elective surgery patients, and perform testing, freezing, and thawing of hematopoietic stem cells contained in bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and peripheral blood for transplantation in CAR-T therapy. We also collect bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells for transplantation. To ensure that patients receive safe and appropriate transfusion blood products, transplant cells, and regenerative medicine products, Blood Bank trains its personnel, establishes a comprehensive quality control system, and performs repeated checks. Many patients require transfusions and transplants, and we work daily with doctors and staff from other departments to provide safe Clinics and transplant care to each and every patient.
