Blood Donation: Basic Requirements
Blood donation helps save lives. Find out if you're eligible to donate blood and what to expect if you decide to donate.
The need for blood is great. On any given day, more than two thousands of blood units are transfused to patients in
our country. Some may need blood during surgery; while others depend on it after an accident or because they have
a disease that requires blood components. The Philippine Red Cross approximately supplies one-fourth of the
country's national blood requirements. If you're in good health, you can probably donate.
Find out about blood donation and what to expect if you decide to give.
Who can donate blood?
You can donate blood if you
- Are in good health
- Are between 16 to 65 years old (16 and 17 years old need parents consent);
- Weigh at least 110 pounds;
- Have a blood pressure between: Systolic: 90-160 mmHg, Diastolic: 60-100 mmHg; and
- Pass the physical and health history assessments.

Baguio General Hospital Blood Bank Services Facilities will carefully screen potential donors.
The screening guidelines are necessary to ensure that blood donation is safe for you and that it
is safe for the person who will be receiving your blood.
In the screening process, donors have to fill out a blood donation questionnaire form that
includes direct questions about behaviors known to carry a higher risk of blood-borne infections
infections that are transmitted through the blood. These behaviors include prostitution,
intravenous drug use and others. A trained physician will be asking you about your medical/
health history, and a physical examination will be conductedwhich includes checking your
blood pressure, pulse and temperature. All of the information from this evaluation is kept strictly
confidential.
During your blood donation screening procedure, a small sample of blood taken from a finger
prick is used to check your hemoglobin level, the oxygen-carrying component of your blood. If
your hemoglobin concentration is normal, and you've met all the other screening requirements,
you can donate blood.
