Introduction :

The Blood Donation Management System is a web-based platform designed to connect blood donors with recipients in need. It facilitates the registration of donors, hospitals, and patients, allowing users to request or donate blood efficiently based on blood type and location. The system improves communication, reduces response time, and enhances availability tracking for blood units.
