The Blood Bank of the Hospital Universitario del Valle has marked a transcendental milestone in the country’s transfusion safety.

The successful implementation of molecular biology tests for the detection of malaria in blood donors constitutes a highly relevant advance, not only for the hospital, but also for the region and for Colombia as a whole.

This achievement, the result of the commitment of a highly qualified human team, the incorporation of cutting-edge technology and solid institutional support, reinforces confidence in each donation and each transfusion performed.

The significance of this advance has surpassed the scientific field, being highlighted at the national level through a report broadcast by Noticias Caracol in prime time, reflecting the positive impact that this innovation generates on the country’s public health.

One more firm step by Hospital Universitario del Valle in its mission to protect lives and guarantee the highest quality in each of its processes.
