Cross Blood Foundation comes in handy during medical emergencies.
Blood transfusion becomes inevitable in most of the cases related to accidents, surgeries or any medical emergencies. But ironically, one of the major problems faced during emergencies is the availability of blood. To help people who face this crisis, Cross Blood Foundation (CBF) was founded by N. L. Hariharan.
The loss of their five-year-old child Hemant made the couple — Hariharan and Banumathi — to take a step towards making other’s life meaningful. “We found a way to overcome the demise of Hemant, who succumbed to leukaemia in 1993, by extending a helping hand to those suffering from blood disorders. We thus established CBF and began helping parents whose children suffer from cancer,” says Hariharan.
