It will be easy to maintain and will also ensure rational use of mobile blood van and blood collection van availability. The centre will be accessible to all donors and serve all the government blood bank in the districts.Donors will be called for donations on allotted slots to reduce cross infections. There will be proper counselling and motivation to donors. With the single facility it will be easy to monitor and regulate collection and the needy can be in emergency situations.
