Warid has announced the availability of SMS-based “Blood Bank Service” that is focused towards serving the humanity and aimed at making blood searching easy and donating blood a very simple and easy process.
It enables users to search for required blood group in a particular city by matching it with a database of registered donors for that city. A blood receiver can only get into contact with a donor upon the donor’s consent.
