Blood banks, donation and safe transfusion requests in Nepal

Transfusion services in Nepal are coordinated largely through the Nepal Red Cross Society and hospital-based blood banks. Find a centre near you, check its hours, and see what each one reports about stock.

Stock labels are reported by centres and change quickly — always call before travelling.

How to request blood for a patient

  1. 1. The treating hospital raises a written requisition with the patient's blood group and the number of units required.
  2. 2. Take the requisition, the patient's admission details and a photo ID to the nearest listed blood bank.
  3. 3. Most centres run a replacement-donor system: arrange voluntary donors (family, colleagues, community) for the units issued.
  4. 4. Cross-matching is done by the issuing centre or hospital lab. Never accept unscreened blood from an informal source.

Donor basics

  • • Age 18–60, body weight 45 kg or more.
  • • Haemoglobin and blood pressure checked on site.
  • • Wait at least 3 months between whole-blood donations.
  • • Defer if you have fever, recent infection, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • • Eat, hydrate and carry a photo ID before you donate.

Final eligibility is decided by the screening officer at the donation centre.
