Welcome to Indian Society
of Transfusion Medicine
Spreading knowledge for Transfusion safety... From vein to vein. As promised the initiative
to form a society exclusively for the advancements of Transfusion Medicine
in India has finally been realised.The Society is now registered as Indian Society
of Transfusion Medicine (ISTM) with its registered office at SGPGIMS, Lucknow.
This society will serve as a platform for scientific discussions, deliberations,
exchange of ideas, teaching/training with regard to Transfusion Medicine pertaining
to Indian context. The society will also coordinate with internationally recognised
organizations in this field to improve the scientific environment in the field.
We will try to make it more interactive in nature by forming various Special Resource
Groups (SRG) like SRG on Apheresis & stem cells, Immunohematology, TTI, Clinical
hemotherapy, computerization / bar codes, teaching / training in TM etc. As with
other scientific societies, ISTM will also have regular CMEs and conferences to
keep abreast with the subject.
