Stories of Hope

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can donate blood?

Healthy adults, usually aged 18 to 60, who meet the minimum weight and have no high-risk medical conditions can donate. Every donor has a short health screening first, so the donation is safe for them and for the patient. Register online and our team will contact you.

How often can I donate blood?

Healthy donors can usually give whole blood every three to four months. The screening team checks your health and the date of your last donation each time, and will tell you if you need to wait longer before donating again.

Is blood donation safe?

Yes. Donation is carried out by trained staff using new, sterile equipment that is used only once, and it takes only a few minutes. Most donors feel fine afterwards; you are asked to rest briefly and have a drink before leaving.

How can I request blood for a patient?

Use Request Blood Support and attach the doctor’s request for blood, showing the blood group and quantity needed. Our team checks availability and eligibility and contacts you. In a life-threatening emergency, go to the nearest hospital or call Rescue 1122 at once.

Do you pay for blood donations?

No. ZEF’s blood bank network relies on voluntary, unpaid donation, which international health guidance recommends as the safest source of blood. Donors give freely to help patients in their community.
