What is our Goal?
Increasing the pool of voluntary blood donors in Nigeria and increasing the access to safe blood and blood products in Nigeria.
BloodPlus Donor Awareness & Support Initiative is committed to increasing the pool of voluntary blood donors in Nigeria through innovative and effective strategies. In pursuit of this goal.
What We Offer!
Voluntary blood donors are the foundation of a safe, sustainable blood supply. Without a system based on voluntary unpaid blood donation, particularly regular voluntary donation, no country can provide sufficient blood for all patients who require transfusion.
Got Some Questions?
Who are those who need blood?
People with severe cases of sickle cell anemia, cancer, other forms of anemia, road traffic accidents, severe bleeding during childbirth, surgical patients, people with severe burns etc.
How do I know I am qualified to donate?
Healthy people between the ages 18 and 65, male or female can donate. Donors must weigh at least 50 kg and be in good health. (*Additional eligibility criteria apply)
When am I not eligible?

While donated blood is free, there are significant costs associated with collecting, testing, preparing components, labelling, storing and shipping, recruiting and educating donors, and quality assurance.
