Abstract: Blood donation is a vital component of international healthcare and has suffered because of the pandemic. This paper aims to address this issue by proposing the creation of a totally transparent blood bank management system in which hospitals/NGOs input the quantity of each blood type in their stock, after which nearby users who are ready to donate are notified. Following extensive research, we observed that there is no structure in place that provides a communication link between the management of blood banks (Hospitals and NGOs) and the general public, allowing available donors to view which blood banks have a shortage of their blood group. The technology platform in implementing this system uses Python programming environment Django for SQL and deployment. For frontend development, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Bootstrap were utilized. The system alleviates the issues created by blood shortages in blood banks by properly managing and providing a single platform for everyone. It makes information about available stock in each blood bank available to the public and this can be extended to multiple cities. Keywords: Blood donation, Blood stock, Hospital, Donor, System
