Paras Health achieves feat

Srinagar, Mar 27: Paras Health Srinagar has successfully initiated  Aphresesa a cutting-edge blood component separation technology.

Dr Suhail Consultant Pathologist Paras Hospital Srinagar said for years, patients in need of specialised blood components had to rely solely on government sector hospitals and blood banks for apheresis. "But now, we are proud to announce that our blood center is the only private facility offering this advanced procedure—making it more accessible and affordable for patients in need," he said.

"Apheresis is a cutting-edge blood donation procedure that allows for the selective collection of specific blood components, such as platelets, plasma, or red blood cells—while safely returning the rest to the donor. This highly efficient method ensures that each donation has maximum impact, saving multiple lives at once," he said.

"Apheresis is crucial for patients undergoing cancer treatments, those with severe bleeding disorders, and those in need of plasma or platelets due to conditions like dengue, leukemia, or major surgeries. In fact, platelet donations through apheresis are far superior to those from whole blood donations, as they reduce the risk of immune reactions," he added.

"By introducing apheresis at our blood center, we are ensuring that patients have access to this critical procedure longer do patients have to rely solely on government hospitals—our center is now providing this essential service," he added.
