Description
Background: The Blood bank Services play a crucial role in the healthcare system, annually saving numerous lives worldwide. All blood banks encounter the issue of a scarcity of blood donors. Significant number of donors is disqualified from donating blood, either temporarily or permanently, due to various reasons that vary among different blood banks. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 1900 donors who came for donation of blood. Results: Total 104 donors were deferred out of 1900 registered donors due to different reasons; anaemia was the most common reason of deferral followed by low weight. Conclusion: In the current study, the donor deferral rate was 5.47%. Understanding the reasons behind donor deferrals is crucial for blood donation centers to maintain a healthy and sustainable donor pool.
