About APNA BLOOD BANK
Blood cannot be manufactured in factories; it can only come from generous donors. To cater to this demand, “Apna Blood bank” was launched on 2019 with an unparalleled objective of solving the problem of blood shortage in India.
According to WHO data, India faces a shortage of 3 million blood units. This shortage can easily be eliminated if only an additional 2% of India's youth donates blood. To make this possible, “Apna Blood bank” acts as a channel connecting voluntary blood donors with those who need blood. It is a youth-run organization and provides free help and services to poor and the needy.
“Apna Blood bank” Mission is to create high standard of human values. Universally, 'Blood' is recognized as the most precious element that sustains life. It saves innumerable lives across the world in a variety of conditions. Once in every 2- seconds, someone, somewhere is desperately in need of blood. More than 29 million units of blood components are transfused every year. The need for blood is great - on any given day, approximately 39,000 units of Red Blood Cells are needed. Each year, we could meet only up to 1% (approx) of our nation’s demand for blood transfusion.
Despite the increase in the number of donors, blood remains in short supply during emergencies, mainly attributed to the lack of information and accessibility. We positively believe this tool can overcome most of these challenges by effectively connecting the blood donors with the blood recipients.
