Bangalore Medical Services Trust

Bangalore Medical Services Trust (BMST) is an India-based not-for-profit healthcare organization best known for operating the Rotary Bangalore-TTK Blood Bank and related blood, tissue, stem-cell, and transplant-support services. Founded in the mid-1980s as a joint initiative of the Rotary Club of Bangalore and TTK, BMST provides blood banking and transfusion services, HLA and tissue-typing support, tissue banking, community health programs, and training and research activities. Its operations are service-oriented rather than drug-development focused, with established clinical infrastructure for blood components, apheresis, tissue processing, and donor-related programs. BMST is also associated with DKMS BMST Foundation India for stem cell donor registration activities. For a biotech analyst, BMST is best categorized as an active nonprofit healthcare services and biologics/tissue-banking institution rather than a venture-backed therapeutics developer.
