World Blood Donor Day - who can give blood and who isn't allowed to?

Blood donation is a selfless act that can treat and support millions suffering from chronic health issues. The urgency to donate blood has increased, especially over the Covid-19 pandemic, with the lack of donated blood becoming a worry.

Every year World Blood Donor Day - on June 14 - raises awareness of the importance of blood donation, encouraging many to take steps to get involved as blood donors.

However, as much as a person may want to donate blood, it's also important to know that there are certain requirements by the WHO that don't allow certain people to give blood.
