Donating blood is safe and simple. It takes just 4 minutes to save lives – registration, medical examination, donation and satisfaction!

1. Have a good meal and plenty of fluids before you donate blood.
2. Walk into the blood bank between 1 and 2 hours after having a meal.
3. You will be asked a few questions about yourself, your health, etc. and will be given a form to fill All information you provide will be treated as strictly confidential.
4. You will undergo a medical examination including height, weight, blood pressure and haemoglobin to ensure that you are healthy enough to donate blood. Donor safety is as important as blood safety.
5. If found fit, you can donate blood. The equipment used during the process is absolutely sterile and disposed after single use. You will not develop any disease through blood donation.
6. You will receive a certificate and information on “dos and don’ts” for the next 24 hours.

You can donate blood again after 90 days. The procedure is the same every time you donate blood – either at the blood centre or at a blood donation camp.
