Advanced anaemia, from hookworm, pregnancy, nutrition or disease, still brings people to hospital doors needing blood today. ## Why these patients need blood When haemoglobin falls far enough, heart failure follows; transfusion pulls patients back from that edge while the cause is treated. Much of it is preventable, which is why the register fights for nutrition and routine donation both. ## What a donor changes here Every unit on the shelf for these patients was an ordinary person’s ordinary Tuesday. Register as a donor, two minutes, OTP once, your own 6-digit sign-in code, and the next patient on this list finds blood already waiting. If you are arranging blood for one of these patients right now: post a free request (matching donors near the hospital are alerted in seconds) or check stock on e-RaktKosh and call the centre before travelling. The requisition slip guide explains the paper the hospital gave you. Related: haemoglobin anaemia
