COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC
|
The health sector in Lebanon is in deep crisis. Medical coverage has become a commodity that only a small privileged percentage of the Lebanese society can attain; a luxury at times where health should be a basic right. |
The center provides 24 hours per day the following procedures: blood collection, platelet apheresis collection, blood component preparation, blood component validation (screening for transfusion transmitted diseases), pre transfusion testing of recipient blood (blood grouping, compatibility tests, and screening for irregular antibodies), blood component distribution and therapeutic plasma exchange.
During working hours (8:00-14:30), histocompatibility tests: HLA, crossmatch and PRA (panel reactive antibodies) as well as other services are provided.
