LAHORE:

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has appealed to the citizens, especially the youth, to join the cause of blood donation.

She emphasised that every drop of blood is precious in times of emergency and dire need. Every drop of blood can be a ray of hope for saving someone's life in dire need.

With Pakistan's first Virtual Blood Bank Centre established in Punjab, the province has entered a new era of digitisation, in which the quality of services will be elevated to new heights, she added.

According to an official statement, patient can immediately get the required blood from the virtual centre by calling the Emergency Helpline 15.

The Safe City Authority officer deputed at the Virtual Blood Bank Centre obtains required information about the patient's location and blood group. The donors registered in the patient's area are immediately contacted by the family through a conference call. Police officers are also involved in the donation process.

Blood donors can register on Helpline 15, Safe City Authority website or at the Police Khidmat counters established in government hospitals across Punjab.
