Donating and Receiving Blood is just an SMS Away.
Email It!
Initially started as a normal website www.indianblooddonors.com offering blood donors and recipient a place to exchange blood, a new service has been added to this website. Thanks to a newly activated service run by Nagpur based Khushroo Poacha, getting a Unit of blood is just an SMS Away.
As internet reach is not substantial and also not very handy at times, a new service of sms is started as almost every one has the mobile and during crisis, we normally call people so sending sms and get info of donors is always welcome by the recipient and the donors
When a patient needs blood, he has to send an SMS to 5676775 in the format
Type blood <space> STD Code <space> blood Group <space> Name
The patient will get a donor’s name with his contact details.
Simultaneously an SMS will be triggered by the system and an alert will be sent to the donor with the details of the patient for co-ordination.
Donors can register by sending an SMS to 5676775 in the format
Donor <space> City STD Code <space> blood group <space> Name
Blood groups like O – are not readily available and in case of urgent and huge requirement of blood. Such a service is very handy and useful.
The website has over 45000 blood donors from across the country. It doesn’t matter where you are, a donor will come to the hospital nearest to you to offer his matching blood. And there is no money involvement.
There is a similar such initiative by Consim Info (Earlier BharatMatrimony Group) which has BharatBloodBank.com which also focuses on blood donation.
