Request Blood — Post a Blood Request
Post a blood request in minutes and reach voluntary donors near you for whole blood, platelets or plasma.
How to request blood
Create a free account, add the patient's blood group, units required, hospital and city, and mark whether it is urgent. Your request reaches voluntary donors near the hospital who can respond and coordinate directly with you.
Request whole blood, platelets or plasma
TAL Blood Aid supports requests for whole blood, platelets and plasma. Platelets in particular have a shelf life of only about five days, so timely donor matching is critical for cancer, dengue and surgery patients.
Emergency blood requests
For life-threatening situations, call 108 for an ambulance and alert your hospital blood bank immediately. On TAL Blood Aid, flag the request as urgent to prioritise nearby donors, and use eRaktKosh to locate blood banks with available stock.
