Changing the odds of donation and healthcare
Platform that connects blood donors with blood recipients.There are many potential donors willing to donate blood but finding an appropriate donor during emergency situations is quite difficult. Due to lack of coordination between hospitals and blood bank millions of unit of blood is wasted. MedLinePro aims to connect organisations with the needy people.
What it does :bouncing_ball_man:
The web app enables hospitals/NGOs to register and post their status of availability of blood of different blood groups. This information is stored in our server and displayed to users who need help. Users can register themselves and look at the information posted by the organisations and request blood directly.
