Tag for Blood Bank.

1

How can we tag Blood Bank. A blood bank is a center where blood gathered as a result of blood donation is stored and preserved for later use in blood transfusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_bank

The OSM Wiki says if it is also a place to donate blood it should be tagged as healthcare=blood_donation. If only blood is stored there, but there is no donating opportunity it can be tagged as healthcare=blood_bank even though that tag is not documented.
