Maintain and monitor emergency medical equipment and ensure readiness for any situation.
Notify donors of positive viral marker results (e.g., Hepatitis B/C, HIV, Syphilis) and provide confidential counseling. Participate in safety committee activities and educate staff on donor suitability and medical protocols.
