How To Find Blood During Medical Emergency -

Milaap – Free Crowdfunding For India

According to National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), India requires about 12 million units of blood annually, but only about 9 million units are available.

During medical emergencies, the need for blood can arise suddenly and unexpectedly. Whether it’s due to accidents, surgeries, or medical conditions, finding the right blood type in a timely manner is crucial for saving lives. However, this process can be overwhelming and stressful for both patients and their families.

Sahana Is One Such Fighter Who's Fighting Blood Disorder

Sahana, a vibrant 24-year-old final year law student, found her life drastically changed when she was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia, a rare condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells last year. What started with a seemingly harmless fever soon revealed itself to be a severe illness. Despite being an athlete in school and college, Sahana now finds herself battling an enemy within.

Her husband is struggling to pay for her blood transfusions and her medicines that cost INR 15,000 every 15 days.
