Once the request is placed through the app, the requisite units become visible to IRCS, NHQ blood bank in its E-Raktkosh dashboard and this allows assured delivery within the specified time.
This feature will make it easy for a blood seeker to obtain blood & shall bring the added advantage of complete transparency & single window access to the service.
Voluntary blood donation can be done by any person under the age of 65 years as many as four times a year.
Regular blood donation can prevent obesity, cardiac problems and many other ailments.
