As Featured In
Finding the right blood group at the right time can be one of the most stressful parts of a medical emergency or planned surgery. Outdated directories, unanswered phone calls, and word-of-mouth referrals waste precious time when a patient needs a transfusion. Doctar's blood bank search is built to remove that friction — showing verified, nearby blood banks filtered by exactly the blood group and component you need.
Every blood bank on Doctar goes through a structured verification process before appearing in search results:
Doctar supports search across all 8 blood groups "— A+, A−, B+, B−, AB+, AB−, O+, and O−. Rare groups like AB− and O− can be especially hard to locate quickly; use the blood-group filter to narrow results to banks reporting that group in stock. O-negative (O−) is the universal red blood cell donor "— it can be given to patients of any blood group in emergencies when blood typing is not possible. AB-negative and B-negative are also classified as rare in India, with very limited supply at most blood banks.
Not every transfusion needs whole blood. Doctar lets you filter by the specific component required:
Doctar's blood bank network spans 50+ Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Nagpur, and Indore, with new cities added regularly. Search for blood banks in any of these cities using the location bar above.
🚨 If you need blood urgently, call the listed blood bank directly to confirm current stock before travelling — availability can change within hours. For any life-threatening emergency, call 112 (or 108 for ambulance dispatch) immediately. Doctar is a discovery tool for locating and contacting blood banks; it does not store live inventory and does not dispatch blood supplies itself.
In addition to Doctar, you can call the National Blood Helpline: 1910 (toll-free, 24/7 in most states) to be connected to the nearest government blood bank with the required blood group in stock. The eRaktKosh portal (eraktkosh.in), maintained by the Ministry of Health, also shows real-time stock at government blood banks across India.
Patient and family reviews on Doctar are submitted post-interaction and go through a 2-stage moderation process before being published. No incentivised or anonymous reviews are accepted.
