Years ago, I wrote about the Apollo Hospital blood donation social network and how technologies like blockchain could revolutionize blood supply and distribution in my book. Now, this vision is gaining traction, with pilot programs and initiatives demonstrating the immense potential of these innovations.

Every day, in hospitals around the world including India, countless individuals face critical health challenges, and for an estimated one in ten, a blood transfusion is a vital bridge to recovery. These aren’t just statistics; they are stories of resilience, hope, and the unwavering human spirit. It’s a stark reminder of our shared responsibility to ensure a safe, efficient, and readily available blood supply for all who need it.
