Finding donors for rare blood groups in Mumbai

Dear citizens:

A few thousand Mumbaikars have volunteered as blood donors on Chaupaati (922 222 1947) and have shared their blood group information with us. Families and hospitals in need, especially those looking for rare blood groups not readily available at blood banks, may call 922-222-1947 to directly connect with nearest donors of matching blood groups. We have notified blood banks at JJ, Mumbai, St George, Cooper and Nair hospitals over the phone, so they can tap into our local database to find donors when needed. Please help us spread the good word, both for volunteers and for those in need.

We are all terribly disturbed about the recent events in Mumbai and our hearts go out to all hostages, innocent bystanders, NSG officers, hotel employees, Mumbai police, hospital staff, media personnel and fellow Mumbaikars who have shown much selflessness and resilience in the face of adversity. Given the magnitude of these attacks, chances are that we all know someone who knows someone who is affected. Although the violence is not over yet, this is the time for citizens to be determined to minimize further losses and recover from what has already happened. Every drop counts.

Sincerely,

Chaupaati Bazaar team
