You can:

·       Look for the license certificate displayed in the blood bank, typically issued by the provincial authority (e.g., SBTA for Sindh, relevant directorate in Punjab, etc.).

·       Visit your province’s blood transfusion authority website (for example, SBTA often lists licensed blood banks and provides a “Locate a Blood Bank” function).

·       Call the authority’s office to ask if a specific blood bank is on their licensed list.

·       Use RedLife’s Blood Bank Directory, which can be curated to include only licensed/verified centers (clearly labeled as such).

If a facility cannot show a valid license and is not on official lists, you should be cautious about donating or receiving blood there.
