Transfusions

Transfusions involve safely receiving blood or specific parts of blood directly into your body. This medical process is often needed to replace blood you might have lost due to surgery or injury, or to help manage health conditions like anemia (when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells) or during certain cancer treatments. Understanding transfusions is an important part of your care, and this topic will explain why one might be recommended, what to expect during the process, and answer common questions you may have. We aim to provide clear, helpful information to support you.
