How Blood Donation Helps Accident Victims
Trauma is India's thirstiest consumer of blood.
The golden-hour demand
Serious road-accident victims can need 10–50 units across surgery and ICU care, drawn from stock that must already exist — trauma cannot wait for donor mobilisation.
Why O− is the trauma group
Untyped patients get O− first; every trauma centre's nightmare is an empty O− shelf at 3 a.m. Registered nearby donors are the refill mechanism.
What you can do today
Register, keep your availability honest, and share the platform into driver, biker and highway-community groups — the populations closest to the need.
Frequently asked questions
