◎ The basic requirements for donating blood are that you must be over 17 and under 65 years of age, weigh 50kg for men and 45kg for women, and be in good health.

◎ For full blood donations of 250 c.c., the next donation should be at least 2 months apart; for donations of 500 c.c., the next donation should be at least 3 months apart. The annual donation limit is 1,500 c.c. for men and 1,000 c.c. for women.

◎ Since 1999, the Taiwan Blood Foundation’s information system has been integrated with the donor records of the six blood donation centres nationwide, so you can check the latest blood donation records and the total amount of blood donated from the computer at any blood donation site.
