2024-12-02

The national authority encourages blood donation for individuals aged 18 to 55 who have no previous adverse reactions to blood donation and meet the health examination requirements. Repeat donors who actively request to donate again can have their age limit extended to 60 years old.

Minimum weight requirement for blood donors: 50 kg for males, 45 kg for females.

Healthy adult whole blood donors can donate up to 400 ml of blood at a time, and the interval between whole blood donations should not be less than 6 months.

Women should temporarily defer blood donation during menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Those with high blood pressure, diabetes, and abnormal liver or kidney function cannot donate blood.

The on-site staff must also conduct necessary health checks and initial blood screenings for blood donors, and only those who fully meet the "Requirements for Health Examination of Blood Donors" can donate blood.
