Central Delhi hospitals don't only serve city residents — they receive referrals from across India, especially from the railway network into New Delhi station and the bus terminus at ISBT Kashmere Gate. RML serves central government employees; LNJP is one of India's largest public hospitals; Sir Ganga Ram handles complex private cases. Your donation here lands quickly with a patient who has often travelled hundreds of kilometres for treatment. The Indian Red Cross alone collects over 50,000 units annually from central Delhi.
Use this when matching donors and recipients. Always confirm with the treating doctor before transfusion.
