Introduction

The Drug Bank Society of Aligarh Muslim University is a non-political, non-profitable, charitable organisation run by a group of students with philanthropic aim which includes supply of drugs and blood free of cost to poor and needy.

Collection of money:

Volunteers look every nook and corner to collect money and find channels for generating funds. Money is collected on monthly basis so that transactions become easy but there is no compulsion. There is provision for money given as "Zakat" but that should be notified to before taking receipts from the volunteer because it is to be used accordingly.

Collection of Physician’s Samples:

The volunteers who look after this unit give frequent visits to the consultants, Registrars & PG’s for drug samples so that it could be given to the needy. We made a list of all these to avoid any sort of misuse.

Patient’s Selection Criteria:

Volunteers visit the wards daily and gather informations about those who deserve help mainly from the Consultants, Registrars, PG’s and paramedical staff. After getting information they approach the respective patient and inquire about his/her financial status. After a quick judgement, if the patient is found to be really needy, then we arrange for the requirements. Special emphasis is given to orphans, widows and children.

Arrangement of Blood:

Another approach in this regard is the arrangement of the blood. We have prepared a Blood group list of all under graduates of JNMCH and other volunteer donors. We fulfil the requirement of blood only if the patient is found to be needy and who can not arrange it for him/her self.
