What do you mean by ‘good general health’?
Good general health means that you feel well on donation day and can carry out normal daily activities.
If you have a chronic medical condition, you may still be eligible if you are receiving appropriate treatment to control your condition.
When you come in for your first visit our team will review any medications you are taking as well as your health history to ensure that you’re a good candidate and that it’s safe for you to donate your plasma.
