Blood Bank Management System

Abstract

1. Introduction

The Blood Bank Management System (BBMS) is a web-based platform designed to streamline the management of blood donations, hospital requests, and inventory tracking. By replacing manual processes with a structured digital workflow, BBMS enables hospitals and blood banks to access real-time inventory, maintain donor records, and process blood requests efficiently.

These limitations reduce the efficiency and reliability of blood bank operations.

2. Objective

A complete MERN-based Blood Bank Management System with role-based dashboards for admin, donors, and hospitals.

This project demonstrates how JavaScript can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.
