Delhi Readies 'Life-Saving' Blood Donor App to Combat Chronic Shortages

Final development is underway on the app that centralizes volunteer donor profiles to speed up emergency transfusions.

Overview

  • The mobile platform will list voluntary donors’ blood group, contact details and address to help patients locate nearby volunteers during crises.
  • It will record each donor’s donation history and enforce a mandatory three-month interval to ensure safety and eligibility.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta unveiled the initiative at an Anand Vihar donation camp, urging residents to embrace blood donation as a civic duty.
  • The government aims to replace scattered drives and informal networks with a permanent digital directory for more organized blood supply management.
  • Officials plan to launch the app within weeks, marking a shift toward technology-driven solutions for Delhi’s persistent blood shortages.
