How to ask for blood donors

Give the blood types needed, how many bags, the hospital and ward, the time it is needed by, and a number to call, and share it straight away in local groups. Waseela makes the request for free, and a published request closes on its own once the time has passed.

What to include

The blood types that can be given; the hospital can tell you which match the patient. The number of bags. The hospital, the ward or desk where donors should go, and the city. The date and time it is needed by. A contact number, and a note for donors if needed, such as the patient's name for the blood bank.

Sharing it

Share it in WhatsApp groups for your city, in family and work groups, and in blood donor groups on Facebook. Sign in to publish it with its own link, and switch on "Show in Active posts" so more donors see it. Waseela doesn't verify posts yet, so people judge yours by who shares it and what it says.

When it closes

A published blood request closes an hour after the time it is needed by, and is then erased. Its link then says it has closed.
