Associate Professor
Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore
Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India

Dr Tulasi Geevar, MD Pathology is an Associate Professor in Department of Transfusion Medicine and Immunohematology at Christian Medical College, Vellore (India). She is currently on her study leave doing a clinical fellowship in hematopathology at University Health Network, Toronto.
She oversees the coagulation laboratory at Christian Medical College, Vellore, which is a referral centre in India for the evaluation of bleeding and thrombotic disorders. She is a member of the Laboratory Scientific committee of World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH) and Indian Association of Haemophilia and Allied Disorder (IAHAD). She has been a trainer/resource person in multiple CMEs and coagulation workshops, including workshops done in collaboration with WFH, AHAD-AP and IAHAD.
It is thought that approximately 75% of people around the world with bleeding disorder still receive inadequate treatment or have no access to diagnosis. Acquired bleeding conditions like trauma and post-partum haemorrhage continue to be a major problem in these countries. Through her work she hopes to bridge this gap through education/training of laboratory personnel and adoption of innovative & cost effective laboratory tests.
