Donor Screening

Donor screening is the process of evaluating potential donors for blood, organs, or tissue to ensure they are healthy and suitable for donation. It typically involves a questionnaire about medical history, lifestyle, and travel, as well as physical exams and laboratory tests to check for infections and other health issues. The goal is to protect both the donor's health and the safety of the recipient, ensuring that donated materials are safe and effective for medical use. This process is essential for maintaining high standards in healthcare and promoting successful outcomes for transplants and transfusions.
