On this platform, I do not wish for anyone to divulge personal or confidential health details. It is only to discuss the various forms of challenges faced while searching for blood for transfusion.

Whao, I heard about this on Channels tv some time ago, nice one guys keep it up

Thank you so much. The process of searching for blood has been made so easy now through SMS. All you need to do is to text BLB,blood group, number of pints needed,LGA,State to 35070. Each SMS costs 100naira.

E.g BLD, o-,2,Surulere,Lagos to 35070.

The sender will get a response of the nearest blood bank that has that blood group. The name, address and phone number of the blood bank will be included in the response so that the sender can always inform them of his/her coming.
