For reaching the nearest blood bank, the mobile application will also provide navigation through Google Maps.
The app also connects blood donors and provides up-to-date information as it is connected in real-time to the Central Government’s blood bank management database named ‘e-Rakt Kosh’. The Mobile application is developed in less than three months under the Good Governance initiate of the Telangana government.
