IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the coronavirus and lockdown, most of the regular Blood Donation Events are suspended. Despite suspending the regular events, we still need blood as hospital treatments continue running and accidents happening.
If you want to donate blood, contact Nepal Red Cross Society Chapters to ask how it can be done.
In Nepal, we need hundreds of blood donations every day. Blood products are used in the treatment of surgical patients, accident victims, cancer patients, and premature babies, just to mention something.
By donating blood you can save someone’s life! Donate today!
With voluntary blood donations, we can keep the blood stocks high enough to help those in need.
Join one of the fixed blood donation camps mention below, or the pop-up donation centres found from different events. If your company, organization or group of friends wants to donate, please see the instructions on the bottom of the page.
