Essence of Blood Banks in saving lives
“All we friends were returning from our Nainital trip suddenly we met with an accident at 3 am, one of our friend got seriously injured. We took him to a nearby hospital, where we were told that he is battling for life and needs blood. None of us matched his blood group. The worst part was that none of us were aware of any blood banks or how to locate the numbers.Somehow we could manage a blood bank’s number with help from the hospital and could save our friends life,” recalls Swetha Sinha.

This can be a learning experience for all us. How many of us are aware of important emergency numbers? Most homes will have contact details of takeaway outlets, at the most of the neighbourhood clinic. We don’t really think of storing emergency numbers but now you don’t need to worry as Cityplus gives you a chance to make a list of the blood banks that are open in the city, 24/7.
