:🩸 The Problem: Blood Donation Challenges in India

In India, the demand for blood is consistently higher than the supply. Despite having the world’s largest population, the country often faces critical blood shortages, especially in rural areas and during emergencies. Here are some key issues:

• Unorganized blood donation system — No centralized platform for connecting donors and recipients.

• Time lost in emergencies — Families often rely on word-of-mouth or social media to find donors, wasting precious time.

• Low voluntary donation rates — Many people are willing to donate but are unaware of where and when to help.

• Lack of transparent data — Hospitals and blood banks often don’t have real-time inventory systems.

• Urban vs Rural Divide — Rural patients often have to travel long distances or depend on city hospitals for blood.
