Separation and Processing: Divide blood into its components (red blood cells, plasma, platelets) for specific medical needs.
Proper Storage: Store donated blood and its components at regulated temperatures to maintain viability.
Inventory Tracking: Implement systems to track blood inventory, ensuring a sufficient supply for emergencies.
Supply to Hospitals: Distribute blood and its components to hospitals and medical facilities based on their needs and requests.
