Donor guide
Who can donate blood?
Most healthy adults can donate blood safely — and one donation can help more than one patient. Here are the general guidelines used by hospitals and blood banks in Pakistan.
Please wait if
- You have fever, flu, cough or any infection
- You recently had a tattoo, piercing or surgery (ask the blood bank about waiting time)
- You are pregnant or recently gave birth
- You donated whole blood in the last 3 months
- You are taking antibiotics or certain medicines (ask the doctor)
After a recorded donation, Blood Drop sets you to Unavailable for 90 days and sends a reminder when you can donate again. The final eligibility check is always done by the hospital or blood bank.
