To eliminate this donor system of paper- based records and to disseminate information directly to the target users, this project explores a web-based system that utilizes the smart card technology and emphasizes the dissemination of information using short message service and e- mail messaging. In this study, client-server model architecture has been implemented. The proposed system provides identification and enhanced services provided by the system functions.
