Why it matters
Bangladesh requires approximately 9 lakh units of blood annually. A significant portion of this demand is met through family or replacement donors rather than voluntary donors — a gap the World Health Organization has flagged as a patient safety risk. Voluntary, non-remunerated blood is statistically the safest source.
In North Bengal — particularly Dinajpur, Rangpur, Thakurgaon, and Panchagarh — access to screened blood outside major hospitals remains limited. DoctorList bridges this gap by connecting voluntary donors directly with patients.
Every unit of whole blood can be separated into red cells, platelets, and plasma — potentially helping up to three patients. A single donation takes under an hour.

Blood donation is a voluntary process where a healthy person donates blood for transfusion to patients in need. In Bangladesh, the demand for safe blood is constant — approximately 9 lakh units are needed every year for surgeries, accident trauma, maternal care, thalassemia treatment, and cancer therapy. Voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors are the safest source, as recommended by the World Health Organization.
DoctorList is a free blood donation platform in Bangladesh that connects verified voluntary donors directly with patients and their families. Unlike traditional blood banks, there is no middleman, no registration fee, and no commission. You can search for blood donors by blood group — including A+, B+, O+, O−, AB+ and all eight types — and by district to find a match near you. Every donor profile is manually verified by the admin team before going live.
Our directory covers verified blood donors across all districts of Bangladesh. In Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Rajshahi — divisions where access to screened blood in rural areas is limited — DoctorList helps bridge the gap. Patients in Dhaka, Chattogram,Sylhet, Khulna, Barishal, andMymensingh can also find donors nearby. If your city has verified donors, simply select it from the blood donor directory.
Each blood group has unique compatibility rules. O+ (O positive) andB+ (B positive) are the most common among Bangladeshis.O− (O negative) is the universal donor — its red cells can be transfused to any patient, making it critically important in emergencies.AB+ (AB positive) is the universal recipient. AB− (AB negative)and O− are the rarest groups in Bangladesh. Use our compatibility table above to understand which groups you can donate to or receive from.
If you are between 18–60 years old, weigh at least 50 kg, have haemoglobin ≥ 12.5 g/dL, and are in good general health, you are eligible to donate blood. The process takes under an hour at any blood centre. You can register online as a voluntary blood donor — free, takes 2 minutes, and your profile goes live within 24 hours after admin verification.
