To celebrate the National Blood Donor Day, Facebook had taken few initiatives to help find nearby blood requests. If we look around, Technology is a pleasant gift where we can store millions of data, click pictures, talk face-to-face.

As we already mentioned, India faced a 17% shortage in clean blood during 2013 & 2014. Data released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare claims that this shortage could profess a huge problem for patients that require a lot of blood.
Facebook had taken few steps to connect blood donors with those who in need of blood and nearby hospitals. Facebook users can sign up to be the blood donor on the mobile version of a Facebook app.

So, this is indeed a great step from Facebook that will promote the way people volunteer to become blood donors and possibly save lives.
