Uthiram - A Blood bank Forum launched in Coimbatore

A forum to promote donation of rare blood groups is to be launched here on Friday. The forum, �Uthiram,' is a joint venture between American College, Lions Club of ESA and District AIDS Prevention and Control Unit.

The rare blood groups include AB Negative, A Negative, B Negative, O Negative and A1B Positive. �Coimbatore is witnessing a high number of accidents with Government Rajaji Hospital alone needing 80 units of blood every day. �Uthiram' will form a network of blood donors that is open to students and the public. It will also reach out to the surrounding districts".
