DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL HEMATOLOGY

Blood is a life line for survival. Blood carries oxygen and fighting forces to each and every cell and organ of human body.

Blood is formed in bones and along with lymph nodes and spleen plays an important role for the production and maintenance of the Fighting forces - the antibodies for the body.

Any deflection from the normal values of blood constituents and antibodies can be calamitous. To name a few; such as anaemia, blood cancer and various infections. Anaemia  is lack of haemoglobin and can be because of several diseases.
