Through this initiative, donors can send blood donation requests through WhatsApp or an electronic link providing the information of those who want to donate blood and scheduling a date when healthcare professional can come to their house to take the blood. Those who wish to go to hospitals to donate blood can book an appointment online and receive permits to move around if the appointment is at the time of the curfew. The apps Wateen and ASAFNY help people find others who need a specific blood type in nearby blood donation centres.
