Education • Donors must also be given education material about blood donation • Educational material include: • Before you donate • Your first donation • TTI (HIV,HBV,HCV) • Post donation instructions
DHQ • Derived from AABB which is based on FDA regulations
DHQ • Why ask questions? • Asking questions helps determine the overall suitability of the donor; from this, the donor will be: • Accepted • Temporarily deferred • Permanently deferred
AABB DHQ • Two pages • 48 questions • We modified it: • Compressed and combined some question • Currently 1 page with 32 questions • Added questions • Available in 4 different languages
Medical check up • General Appearance • Weight (47 Kg) • Temperature (less than 37.5) • Pulse (50 -100) • Blood Pressure: • Systolic ≤180 mm Hg • Diastolic ≤100 mm Hg • Hemoglobin (≥12.5 g/dL) • Skin Lesion

Informed consent • Before donation, a donor must provide informed consent • If for any reason a donor doesn’t think their blood is safe to donate, there must be a mean for confidential unit exclusion • It is all kept confidential….

Malaria • We test for Malaria • Test all coming from endemic areas • Test all with recent history of travel to Malarie endemic area • Currently working on developing a new policy
