Become a Platelet Donor
By donating your platelets through platelet apheresis (ay-fer-ee-sis), you give a very special gift of life.
Most patients undergoing a bone marrow transplant, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment or organ transplant need platelets in order to survive. In fact, doctors are finding that platelets play a vital role in more and more new therapies.
What to Expect When Donating Blood
Each year, millions of Americans take time out to give the gift of life. Because the American Red Cross knows how valuable that time is, we want you to understand the donation process and save you time if you aren't eligible to donate.
Here's what happens when you arrive at the blood drive or center.
You'll be asked for a form of identification each time you donate. You'll provide this information:

We dreamt for connecting blood banks. We thought about having a common point access to all available blood. We looked for a future where a person wolud make a single call and get the blood he wants. We dreamt of Providing A DISHA to the helpless.
Two years back when we started work with Disha, it was a huge challenge. But work did start. We explored all possibilities from IVR to a SMS based network. Finally, here we are.
Any healthy adult, both male and female, can donate blood once in every three months. Good health of the donor must be fully ensured. The universally accepted criteria for donor selection are:
ABO Blood Groups: Red 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.
