Blood groups differ among people as four major types. Any loss of blood needs only a matching type to complement it. This can be achieved only by the blood banks, which is the store house of blood and its components.
Blood banks are increasing and few are seen attached to the hospitals either government or private. These banks are responsible for life saving activity in an emergency situation.
Most of the people are unaware of the blood banks around them in the society. Few doesn`t know where to get help during critical situation. So awareness need to be created on the necessary help available around them.
Blood banks are the vital area for obtaining needed match blood for saving life.
