Use Blood Pledge with the hospital.

Blood donation depends on clinical screening, correct blood handling, and qualified staff. Blood Pledge helps people reach one another; the receiving hospital or blood bank decides whether a donation can proceed.

If you need blood

• Contact the hospital or blood bank first and confirm the required blood component and group.
• Use the hospital as the request destination whenever possible.
• Do not publish a patient’s diagnosis, documents, identity number, or other medical details.
• Close the request as soon as enough help is confirmed.
• For immediate danger, use local emergency services and hospital channels.

If you may donate

• Read the request details before accepting.
• Tell hospital staff about your health and donation history during their screening.
• Do not donate if qualified staff advise against it.
• Meet at the named hospital or recognized blood facility. Do not hand blood to an unverified courier.
• Never pay someone for access to a patient or request payment for blood.
