Mother Teresa Charitable Trust - Blood Banks in Mother's Castle, 40, Thiruvengadapuram Main Rd, Thiruvalluvar Puram, Choolaimedu, Chennai Mother Teresa Charitable Trust

Mother Teresa Charitable Trust is a blood bank organization dedicated to connecting voluntary blood donors with patients in need. The organization operates as a channel between donors, patients, and hospitals, maintaining a network to facilitate blood availability across the region.[3]

The trust provides comprehensive blood donation services and maintains a blood donor registry to help match donors with patients requiring transfusions. The organization works to address blood shortages by organizing blood donation camps and providing blood at short notice to patients.[3] Through its "MTCT Blood Donors Guild" initiative, the trust offers solutions to chronic blood supply challenges, recognizing that patients often face pressure to organize their own donors after a medical need arises.[3]

Blood eligibility requirements include donors aged 18 years and above weighing more than 50 kg, with standard health screening to exclude those with certain conditions such as Hepatitis B or C.[3] The organization operates with the objective of saving lives by ensuring reliable access to safe blood products when needed, acknowledging that blood has limited storage capacity and is needed at regular intervals.
