Donor screening practices

Donor screening involves careful evaluation of individuals who want to donate organs, blood, or tissue. It includes medical history questions, physical exams, and laboratory tests to ensure the donor is healthy and free of infections or diseases that could harm recipients. This process helps protect recipients from potential health risks and ensures the safety and effectiveness of the donation. Screening protocols are based on strict guidelines and are regularly updated to maintain high safety standards. Ultimately, the goal is to confirm that the donor is suitable and that the donation will be safe for those in need.
