Big burns consume blood volume and plasma for weeks, donors carry these patients through the long dressing-change months. ## Why these patients need blood Burned skin leaks plasma massively in the first days; later, surgeries and grafting repeat the need. Firework and kitchen burns peak in festival seasons, a quiet reason festival-time donation matters. ## 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.
