Abstract
In Mbale Regional Blood bank, there are different activities that take place including, blood
donation, blood donation drives among others. This research focuses on the development of a
Blood Bank Call-up system to address the challenges of manual record keeping, lack of
awareness about blood donation and its benefits and limited communication channels. The
system aims to improve blood donation accessibility and efficiency by transitioning from manual
registers to a digital platform to streamline data management and improve the matching process
between donors and recipients. An automated Blood Bank Call-up system will furthermore
enhance communication by providing a platform for dissemination of information about
upcoming blood drives, educational resources on blood donation and facilitating direct
communication between potential blood donors and the blood bank.
The methodologies used include the Structured System Analysis and Design (SSAD) which was
used for analysis and designing the system as well as the RAD (Rapid Application Development)
which was easy to deliver a working system with all the modules worked upon one after the
other. Furthermore, I went ahead and employed MySQL as a database management system, PHP
as the technology which is an open-source general purpose scripting language that is especially
suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. In addition, HTML (Hyper-text
Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which are the core web scripting
languages for building web pages and web applications were used. HTML provided the structure
of web pages whereas CSS was mainly used to control the styling and layout of web pages.
I also used CSS libraries like bootstrap for easy and uniform styling as well as font awesome for
the icons in the system. Google fonts, which is an online repository for various font styles was
also used in order to work on the appearance of the interfaces of the system.
