12,000 lose their lives each day due to the lack of blood for transfusion and thousands more due to the lack of platelets for transfusion. Since platelets cannot be stored for more than 5 days, timely donations by willing donors is all the more critical to save lives. TALBlood Aid is a lifesaving revolution seeking to change this situation and save precious lives by enabling timely access to voluntary donors of blood and platelets.

TALBlood Aid, powered by Touch-A-Life Foundation, is a revolutionary platform that connects those in need of blood and platelets with willing, voluntary donors. It seeks to harness the power of kindness and compassion to make blood and platelet shortages relics of the past.

This free-to-use, tech-powered, user-friendly platform bridges the digital divide and builds a lifeline for hospitals, clinics, blood banks, and patients to promptly connect with donors, minimizing delays in accessing donors in critical times.

TALBlood Aid only acts as a facilitator, connecting willing donors with those in need of blood and platelets. We do not schedule, organize, or arrange any donation ourselves. We are not affiliated to any of the recipients of blood/ platelets either.

Who can use TALBloodAid?
At present, the platform is available only for Indian users.
Anyone (including individuals, nonprofits, blood banks and hospitals) can use the TALBlood Aid platform to create blood/ platelet donation requests for themselves, their family, friends, or on behalf of anyone else in India.
Any healthy individual between 18-65 years of age meeting the respective eligibility criteria in India can register as a donor on the platform, find blood and/or platelet donation requests within their preferred location radius, donate, and save lives.
Other individuals can help amplify requests by sharing them in their personal and professional circles.
Note: Paid/ commercial blood & platelet donation is a punishable offence in India. No payment should be asked for/ given/ received for blood & platelet donations. It must be purely voluntary.
