donor eligibility criteria

Donor eligibility criteria refer to the guidelines that determine who can donate blood or organs. These criteria are designed to ensure the safety of both the donor and the recipient. Generally, donors must be in good health, meet age requirements, and not have certain medical conditions or risk factors, such as infectious diseases. Lifestyle factors, like travel history and drug use, may also be considered. The goal is to minimize risks and ensure that donations are safe and effective for those in need. These criteria can vary by organization and type of donation.
