Khidmat Blood Bank connects a person who needs blood with donors of the matching group nearby. Donors are asked in turn, and a donor who has just given rests for six months before anyone calls again.

Most blood requests go round as a message with the same list of names. The first name on it gets every call.
A static list has an order. The person at the top is phoned for every request, until they stop answering, and the names at the bottom are never asked.
Donors of the right group are offered one at a time, starting with the one who was asked longest ago. Everyone is asked; nobody is asked twice while others wait.
Mark that you donated and you leave the results for six months, the medical rest between donations. You come back automatically.
A donor’s number is shown only to a receiver who has given their own details first, and only for donors who agreed to be contacted.
Your details reach only the donors we show you. They are not published.
Fields marked * are required. In an emergency, call the hospital blood bank first.
Register once. We call you only when someone of your group nearby needs blood, and never within six months of your last donation.
You are not called for six months after you give.
You are matched only to your own blood group, nearby.
Your number is shown only to a person who has given their own details first.
You can pause or leave at any time.
Mark your donation and you leave the search results for six months. You will not be called in that time.
Only a person who has given us their own details and the patient’s blood group, and only if you agreed to be contacted. Your number is never published or sent round in a list.
