The tag healthcare=blood_bank is used for a blood bank: a facility where blood gathered as a result of blood donation is stored and preserved for later use in blood transfusion. These facilities are often found in a hospital or medical centre.
The similar tag amenity=blood_bank has also been used. It is more common overall but has been used only in India, where a list of blood banks is available from OpenGovernmentData.
For a facility where members of the public can donate blood, see healthcare=blood_donation
How to map
Create a node at the center of the blood bank and tag it with healthcare=blood_bank and name=*.
If the entire area of the blood bank is known, it can be mapped as an area.
