Online Blood Bank Management

Project Domain / Category Web programming

Abstract / Introduction

Blood donation is a crucial aspect of healthcare, saving millions of lives every year. However, the process of finding and managing blood donors and recipients is often inefficient, leading to delays in emergency situations. The proposed Online Blood Bank Management System aims to bridge the gap between blood donors, recipients, and blood banks through an integrated web-based platform. This system will allow blood banks to manage donor registrations, blood stock levels, and requests for blood units efficiently. It will also enable hospitals and individuals to search for available blood types, request donations, and schedule appointments for blood collection.

The system will cater to different types of users, including administrator, hospital representatives, donors, and recipients, providing them with the necessary tools to handle all aspects of blood donation and transfusion management efficiently.
