“You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life“. This morning out of nowhere I read this line and that instantly reminded me the part of the verse number 32 of chapter 5 (Surat Al-Mai’dah) that says, “And if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the whole humanity”. It makes serving others and saving in order to save lives of the others a divine duty of us all. During the days of busyness with my dissertation and all I collected a great pile of unread emails, last night I came across to an email that was introduction of save life project. Since morning, I am trying to gain more information on this project.
Save Life project is all about saving lives of the other and with the planning, developing, and organizing it is now accessible at SaveLife.pk an idea that was initially started with the blood donation organizing during Dengue Attack. Save Life, simply provide a collaboration point for the blood organizing bodies, all the organizations can register with it and share their database of donors. That will make donor arrangement easy with the availability of larger data. This is a multipurpose service i.e. natural disaster assistance, hepatitis, cencer, thalessmia, and HIV awareness.
One can get registered by sending an SMS to their code number with a defined pattern “Blood Signup gender, full name, city” (e.g. blood signup male, Rai Azlan, Lahore) and send this SMS to their code number. In addition, one can request blood by sending an SMS to their code number stating, “I need to get [blood group] blood in [city] near [some area]” (e.g. I need to get B+ blood in Lahore near Cantt).
This is indeed a good idea to me in order to build database and arranging blood when required. However, being a start-up this need a lot of support and especially need many registered donors to show how effective it is. All those who are not willing to donate blood for some reason can still help and show support by become Social Media volunteers. These volunteers will require to set facebook status or share tweets regarding the blood requirement to spread the word. (E.g. Urgently required B+ve blood in CMH Hospital Lahore Pakistan. Contact 0300-1234567). This does not mean promoting save life as getting popularity is not the motive; the motive is to save life.
SaveLife.pk has also developed Facebook and Twitter App. The apps for smart phones are available. The mobile apps are location-based service and helps in finding blood near to the location it is actually required.
While my information search I came across to some of the success stories regarding Save Life project. As I am follower of no idea is bad idea concept I highly regard it as a very good idea and wish all the best to men behind this concept Talal Masood and Ahsen Masood. In case more information required regarding this service you can drop an email at help@savelife.pk.
