Age Restrictions are put in place by almost every country in the world. Those countries that do not specifically write age limits, will disqualify older first-time donors.

As we age our ability to replenish red blood cells reduces. It is to protect the donor's health.

Every Country has rules to protect both the Donor's Health and the Patient's health.

@Suzanne *****

IF someone is from the UK France or Ireland they can donate at the National Blood Centre on Henri Dunant Rd ONLY. Special processing for blood.

Everyone else, can donate at any Thai Red Cross location anywhere in Thailand

@Suzanne *****

. The regions impacted by the vCJD disease are the UK, France and Ireland. From 1980 to 1996.

Most countries in the World do not accept those donors.

Every other country is not restricted, such as the USA, Germany, China, etc... as these areas were not Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease areas. "Mad Cow Disease".

@Suzanne *****

Donors from the UK who lived during mad cow disease period in that region are nor accepted by the majority of the World.

Thailand does accept. Only at the National Blood Centre in Bangkok due to special processing

@Amy ******

Yes, where are you located?

@Charlie ****

I am an expat volunteer. I do not have money or a medical staff.

@Arthur *******

In case anyone is reading this.

@Nikki ********

Fantastic! You will need a Thai address and a phone number when you register. You can use a friend's address.
