How to Verify a Blood Request Before Sharing
Thirty seconds of checking keeps the network trustworthy.
Call before forwarding
Ring the attendant number and confirm the hospital, ward and need. Real families answer specifics instantly; fabricated requests evade them.
Check the signals
A named hospital, a realistic date, a request link with live status, and no talk of money — those are the marks of a genuine request.
Stale is as bad as fake
Requests older than a few days are usually resolved; check the link status before re-forwarding.
