Short Answer
Only if your haemoglobin level meets the minimum requirement and the Medical Officer considers you fit to donate.
Detailed Explanation
Before every donation, your haemoglobin is checked.
According to Government guidelines:
- Minimum haemoglobin required is 12.5 g/dL or higher.
- People with anaemia below this level cannot donate until their haemoglobin improves.
- Donation may be postponed until the deficiency has been treated.
This protects both the donor and the recipient.
Key Points
- Minimum haemoglobin is 12.5 g/dL.
- Anaemia usually requires temporary deferral.
- Eat a balanced, iron-rich diet and follow medical advice.
- Donate only when medically fit.
