ABO Blood GroupsRed cells that have both 'A' & 'B' protein(antigen) are called to be of AB group. A person's blood never changes throughout his life. They are classified according to the protein (antigen) present in the red blood cell membrane. Red cells that have "A" Protein (antigens) are called A Group. Red cells that have "B" Protein (antigens) are called B Group. Red cells that do not have these antigens are called "O" Group.

Blood Donation Organization

On 23rd May 2003 when a patient in one of the city hospitals died because he did not receive blood on time, Sankalp was born.

The commitment was simple. Whenever there is any requirement of blood which the blood banks in the city fail to satisfy, we requested them to forward it over to us. Sankalp 24 X 7 X 365 emergency blood helpline has been working since then taking up all emergency blood requests that come up.
