Blood transfusion policy · Updated October 2026
Every patient must be able to accept a blood transfusion if one becomes medically necessary.
No. Renew's surgeons require every surgical patient to be able to accept a blood transfusion if one is needed. It's a requirement to become a patient.
Transfusions are unlikely, but some cases need one. For example:
A transfusion can save your life after bariatric surgery.
No. Our surgeons' protocol is standard for medical tourism and consistent with their board certification. Patient safety comes first.
Some religions, including Jehovah's Witnesses, restrict blood transfusions and some other treatments. Renew's staff and surgeons respect every religious and personal decision, but we can't go against our surgeons' protocols.
If you have questions about the policy, call us at (844) 736-3963 before you apply.
The application is free and takes a few minutes. No obligation.
