Lucknow is the medical hub of central and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Patients from Bahraich, Sitapur, Hardoi, Raebareli, and Sultanpur are referred here for tertiary care — KGMU, SGPGI, RML, Era's Lucknow Medical College, and Apollomedics all maintain blood banks.

Lucknow's hospitals serve not just the city's 35 lakh residents but a referral population approaching 5 crore across central and eastern UP. Demand is constant: KGMU and SGPGI run major trauma, cardiac, and oncology programmes; RML serves government employees and trauma; private chains like Apollomedics, Medanta, and Sahara handle the rest. Dengue spikes hit Lucknow hard every monsoon. Your donation here doesn't sit on a shelf — it moves to a trauma OT, a thalassaemia ward, or a leukaemia patient within days. One donation saves up to three lives.

For a Lucknow emergency, dial KGMU Blood Bank, SGPGI, RML, and Apollomedics in parallel — these four hold the deepest inventories. For rare groups (AB-, A-), Lucknow's voluntary donor network is among UP's strongest; post on TheBloodApp to alert donors in Gomti Nagar, Hazratganj, and Aliganj. If you're in a peripheral district referring to Lucknow, transport pre-typed blood with the patient in a validated cold-box if possible.
