Blood Donation Organization

Sankalp BDO activities

Rakta Kranti Karnataka

Rakta Kranti Karnataka Wing of Sankalp India Foundation is the wing which has the primary responsibility of organising safe blood donation drives across the state maily in educational institutions. 2009-2010 saw a sea of changes make its way into Sankalp. From a primarily Bangalore based operative unit, suddenly Sankalp was there all over Karnataka. The Disha team networked blood banks in major districts of the state and the Emergency Wing looked into finer aspects of providing emergency help in other parts of Karnataka.

On 1st of March 2009 we got a request for blood for an anaemic patient. On further dialogue we came to know that patient is admitted in a Government hospital and needs Bombay Blood group units. Doctor informed us that at least 5 units will be required in a period of 3-4 days as patient was suffering from severe anaemia.
