INFORMATION FOR VOLUNTEERS

Blood Donor Eligibility

Get informed before you donate. Your final eligibility is determined by qualified screening staff.

BEFORE YOU DONATE

Who can donate blood?

Blood donation criteria consider several factors, including age, weight, haemoglobin, medical history, medications, recent illness and the interval since your last donation. These rules vary by donation type and must follow the current applicable Indian guidelines.

Age and weight

Eligibility is assessed against current authorised limits and the donor’s individual circumstances.

Current health

Recent fever, illness, surgery and other conditions may affect whether donation is appropriate.

Donation intervals

The allowable interval depends on the type of donation and applicable medical guidance.

Professional screening

All donors undergo screening before donation. Self-assessment is not a substitute for screening.

This page provides general awareness information only, not individual medical advice or a declaration of eligibility. Contact the blood bank team for current donor criteria.
