Hi @ching Nelson tsoine, as @Ensis01 indicated, you need to check with your local authorities. You have two primary concerns when it comes to blood donation. First - is it safe for the donor to donate? The answer isn't always yes. That's why we do things like a pre-donation hemoglobin / hematocrit, blood pressure, health history questionnaire... Sometimes these also elicit info that might make that donation unsafe for the recipient. Second - is it safe for the recipient to receive that product? When it comes to the vast majority of the thousands of meds that are out there, the answer is usually yes. There are a few that can harm an unborn fetus. Some indicate an underlying medical condition that might make it unsafe for the donor. There is no one size fits all answer. We worked with a plasma manufacturer in Korea, we needed to change some of our policies based on what their local laws were. When in doubt, always check your local laws, the AABB guidelines will not work in every country, and they are not a law in the US, but a guideline. The questionnaire is accepted by the FDA 9in the US) as an acceptable donor questionnaire. In fact, AABB and FDA collaborated on it.

Hi, I realize you are not un the US; however, AABB has a lot of terrific resources available, for free. https://www.aabb.org/news-resources/resources/donor-history-questionnaires/blood-donor-history-questionnaires There is a questionnaire that you can administer, which will uncover the conditions you are looking at, and they also have guidelines on how to proceed should you receive an unexpected answer. These should be reviewed with your medical director to ensure the suggestions are what they would like implemented. In the last blood center where I worked, we pretty much followed them exactly. Why reinvent the wheel
