Our Response to Patients Who Refuse Blood Transfusions for Religious and Other Reasons
We respond to patients who refuse blood transfusions for religious and other reasons according to the following Lifesaving Transfusion Policy in line with the determination of our Ethics Committee.
We will strive to not perform blood transfusions as far as possible in our medical treatment. We will make the effort to gain consent for blood transfusions upon giving a full explanation as far as possible prior to medical treatment that may require a transfusion. If it becomes difficult to maintain life without a blood transfusion, we will prioritize the standpoint of respect for life and perform a transfusion even if we are unable to obtain consent for it. We will explain that it will be difficult to undertake medical treatment at our hospital if you are unable to comply with the above Lifesaving Transfusion Policy. You will receive no disclaimer in which we pledge to provide transfusion-free medicine.
