The project aims to provide an integrated electronic system through which all Blood Bank related operations will be supported, starting from the received requests to sending results without any human intervention to avoid any obstacles.
The system was set up in order to facilitate and regulate the operations carried out within the blood bank which ultimately increases the laboratories labs productivity. Given the increasing demands for blood bank laboratories, which requires an integrated and an accurate system, the specialized system that was chosen is considered one of the best systems in the field of blood banks around the world.
In addition, this system is compatible with the highest international standards for blood banks, which ensures the safety of blood transfusion from laboratories to patients as well as being accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB).
