blood collection policies

Blood collection policies are guidelines to ensure safe, effective, and ethical donation processes. They specify who can donate (e.g., health status, age, weight), how many times and when they can donate, and how blood is collected and tested for safety. These policies protect donors and recipients by preventing infections and ensuring blood quality. They also include confidentiality rules and procedures for handling adverse reactions. Overall, they balance the need for donated blood with safety measures to maintain public trust and health.
