Free and voluntary, across India
Someone near you will need blood today.
Vital is a free platform where families post blood requests and voluntary donors nearby, with a compatible blood group, can see them and choose to help.
Vital only connects people. It does not arrange, verify or guarantee donations. What this means
Open requests
See allBlood compatibility
Which groups can your blood help?
Choose a blood group to see which patients can receive it. Vital uses this same table to decide who sees a request, so you only hear about requests your blood group can answer.
O− red cells can be given to patients of every blood group.
How a request reaches a donor
A request is posted
A patient’s family or the hospital enters the blood group, the number of units, the hospital and the date it is needed by.
Compatible donors nearby see it
Available donors within 25 km whose blood can be given to the patient are alerted.
The two sides talk directly
A donor who wants to help offers, and the donor and the family can then call each other and decide everything between themselves. Blood is given only at a hospital or licensed blood bank.

Please read
Vital connects people. That is all it does.
Vital does not promote or promise anything. Everything that happens after a donor and a family find each other is up to them.
- A free platform, nothing more
- Anyone can post a blood request, and voluntary donors can see it and choose to respond. Vital does not charge or pay anyone and is not involved in any payment.
- No arrangement, no guarantee
- Vital does not arrange, supervise, verify, promote or guarantee any donation, donor or request, and makes no promises about any of them.
- Your discretion, your responsibility
- Any contact, arrangement or donation is entirely between the people involved, at their own discretion and responsibility. Blood is collected only by hospitals and licensed blood banks.
- What the app itself does
- A donor’s phone number is shown only to the family they offer to help. Before offering, donors tick a short self-declared health checklist, which Vital does not check.

Common questions
Who can register as a donor?
Under NBTC guidelines, people aged 18 to 65 who weigh at least 45 kg and are in good health can usually donate. The registration form asks you to confirm this yourself. The hospital or blood bank makes the final decision.
Who can see my contact details?
Your phone number and email are never shown publicly. Your number is shown only to a family after you offer to help with their request.
How often can I donate?
Under NBTC guidelines, men can donate every three months and women every four. Vital shows when you may be eligible again, based on the donation dates you enter.
Does Vital check donors or requests?
No. Vital does not verify, arrange, supervise or guarantee any donor, request or donation. Please use your own judgement and confirm details directly with the hospital or blood bank.
Is anyone paid?
Donation is voluntary, and blood donation in India is non-remunerated by law. Vital does not charge or pay anyone and is not involved in any payment or arrangement between people.
Who actually collects the blood?
Only hospitals and licensed blood banks. Vital is not a blood bank and does not collect, test, store or supply blood.
If you are able to give blood, please register.
You will only be notified when a patient near you needs a blood group you can give. Whether you respond is always your choice.
