How do I register as a donor on Khoon Network?

You can register as a donor by visiting our 'Donor Registration' page and filling out the required information, including your name, contact details, blood group, and location.

Is my personal information safe?

What happens after I register? How am I contacted?

Once you register, your details are added to our secure donor database. When a request matches your blood group and location, our system may notify you via **SMS and/or app notification**. You can then choose to accept or decline the request based on your availability.

Can I update my contact details or availability status?

Yes, you can log in to your donor dashboard to update your profile information, including contact details, location, and your current availability to donate.

How do I request blood through Khoon Network?

You can place a blood request by filling out the 'Request Blood Form' on our website. Please provide accurate details about the patient, required blood group, quantity, hospital details, and urgency.

What information do I need to provide when requesting blood?

Typically, you'll need to provide:

• Patient's name and age.
• Required blood group and quantity.
• Name and address of the hospital.
• Attendant's contact number.
• Reason for the blood requirement and urgency.
• A scanned copy of the doctor's prescription or hospital request letter (if possible).

How quickly will I find a donor?

While Khoon Network strives to connect requesters with donors as quickly as possible, the time taken can vary depending on the availability of donors for the specific blood group in your location and the urgency of the request. We cannot guarantee a donor, but we will make every effort to find a match.

Does Khoon Network charge any fees for finding a blood donor?

No, Khoon Network does not charge any fees for connecting blood requesters with volunteer donors. Blood donation is a voluntary and altruistic act.

What is the process after a potential donor accepts a request?

Once a potential donor accepts a request, Khoon Network facilitates the sharing of contact details between the donor and the requester (with mutual consent). The requester or hospital staff can then directly coordinate with the donor for the blood donation process.

How does Khoon Network verify donors or requests?

We implement a multi-layered approach to verification. For donors, we encourage them to provide accurate details and may conduct phone verification. For requests, especially urgent ones, we may ask for a doctor's prescription or hospital request letter to ensure legitimacy. We encourage both donors and requesters to exercise due diligence and communicate clearly.

Why is blood donation important?

Blood donation saves lives. Donated blood is crucial for patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, trauma care, and those with chronic illnesses like thalassemia or anemia. A single donation can help save up to three lives.

How else can I support Khoon Network?

Besides donating blood, you can support us by:

• Spreading awareness about the importance of blood donation and our platform.
• Sharing our website and social media posts with your network.
