I used to be a regular blood donor back home and was wondering what the criteria is here - ie do you have to have been in Qatar for a minimum amount of time etc and also where is the place to donate?
jjj75 thank you for the way you are asking about that i wish every body think in this way the blood bank is right oboiste the car park building in hamad hosptal.
I donated blood this January. The month before I went on a vacation--out of Qatar. So you DO NOT have to be here 6 months in order to give blood. They do, however, ask if you have been to any country in the last year that had a problem with malaria.
I SUGGEST TO VISIT HAMAD MEDICAL CORP.THE BUILDING INFRONT CARPARK OPPOSITE LULU CENTER...THEY WILL CHECK U FIRST BEFORE THE SCHEDULE FOR BLOOD DONATION...

Thanks Nemoe - I will just go along to Hamad and see what they have to say - they can always say I am ineligible but it is worth asking the question

Thanks for your prompt response. I have been in Qatar since last July, but I went back the UK in December, so do I fall foul of the 6 month rule?
Yes, I think you shoudl complete 6 months, after the arriaval from any other country.
This is a wise precautionary step, allowing the virus, if any, to raise its head, during this 6 months.
