hort Answer
Healthy adults who meet the Government of India's eligibility criteria can donate blood.
Government of India Guidelines
A person is generally eligible if he or she:
• is between 18 and 65 years of age
• is physically fit and in good health
• is mentally alert
• has acceptable haemoglobin
• meets weight requirements
• passes the donor medical screening
Eligibility is always decided by the Medical Officer at the blood centre.
Detailed Explanation
Blood donation protects both the donor and the patient.
Before every donation, the blood bank checks your:
• age
• weight
• haemoglobin
• blood pressure
• pulse
• temperature
• medical history
• lifestyle factors
• medicines
• recent illnesses
These checks ensure that donating blood is safe for everyone.
Important Reminder
Even if you donated previously, every donation requires a fresh eligibility assessment.
The Medical Officer has the final decision.
❤️ Every healthy donor can become someone's lifesaver. Check your eligibility, donate regularly, and inspire others to join the BDOI® community.
