Donor Screening Guidelines

Donor screening guidelines are a set of medical and personal questions and tests used to assess whether someone can safely donate blood or organs. These guidelines help identify potential health risks or infections that could be transmitted to recipients. They include reviewing health history, lifestyle, travel, and medication use, and may involve blood tests. The goal is to ensure that donations are safe for recipients while respecting donor privacy. Following these guidelines helps protect both the donor and the recipient by minimizing the risk of disease transmission and ensuring the quality of the donation.
