Well, according to Wikipedia, "Charles R. Drew", he didn't start work on blood banking until 1940. According to the web site of the Rock River Valley Blood Center, "History of Blood Banking", the first one was set up in Chicago in 1936. Therefore, I would assume that Dr. Drew, while famous for advancing blood bank technologies, did not actually invent the blood bank. He is mentioned in the history article.

Answer

In 1818 Dr. James Blundell a British Obstetrician performed the first successful transfusion from husband to wife. Dr. Blundell continued on with 10 more successful transfusions.

In 1840 at St. George's Hosp. Medical School in London Samuel Armstrong Lane helped Dr. Blundell perform the first successful whole blood transfusion to treat hemophilia.

George Washington Crile is credited for the first surgery using direct blood transfusion at Cleveland Clinic.

Dr. Albert Hustin in Belgion in 1914 found that by refrigerating and storing the blood it would last for days and used sodium citate as an anticoagulant.

On January 1, 1916 Oswald Hope Robertson used this method of refrigerated blood and was credited with establishing the first blood bank while serving in France during WW1.

Alexander Bogdanov in Moscow in 1925 devoted the science of blood transfusion for whole blood.

Charles Richard Drew is an American, aka African-American. He was born June 3, 1904 in Washington, D.C. and died April 1, 1950 in North Carolina.

How do you use blood banks?

Blood banks are maintained and managed only by medical professionals. When someone's blood is taken for donatory purposes, it goes to a blood bank to be screened for infection, type and to be cleaned. When blood is required by an institute, an order is placed and blood bank prepares the request. The blood bank is not the unit of choice for routine blood test results.
