Kanyakumari Blood Banks

Kanyakumari Blood Banks are the places where needy people can resort to in case they are in need of blood. There are both government and private blood banks in Kanyakumari. The advantage of government blood banks over the private ones are that, they provide the blood needed, free of cost or may be at a very nominal price. However, the disadvantage is that they may run out of certain types of blood, especially the rare types, as the blood donors in the government blood banks, mostly donate the blood. The Private blood banks on the other hand buy the blood from the blood donors and hence they ensure that there is enough blood supply, of all blood types. In other parts of Tamilnadu, there are ESI blood banks as well.
