Blood Bank
Established the first 100% component blood bank in India.
Jeevan completes 25 years of service to the community on 24th Sept 2020.
Through the blood bank operations from 1995 until 2017, we issued 377,000 units of the safest blood components without a single major transfusion reaction.
Through our public cord blood bank we have issued 13 donated stem cell units to patients suffering from blood related diseases, who would otherwise have had no hope for a cure.
Be The Cure Registry has 12,570 registered voluntary donors. Five of them have already donated to save lives.
We can never thank enough, our trustees and members of the Jeevan team over this period who reposed faith in us through all the testing times we had. Our donors - blood donors, stem cell donors and financial donors, the numerous philanthropists, corporates and countless well-wishers –without each of you, we could not have achieved, all that we have.
A heart-felt thanks to each of you, from all of us at Jeevan.
