Malaria and donation: Information for blood donors

Published:

Malaria is an infection carried by certain mosquitoes - without treatment, some people can become very ill and die. Malaria can be passed on by transfusion so we need to test donors with malaria risk factors to ensure their blood is safe for patients. This leaflet explains more about malarial risks and the measures we take to help keep our blood supply safe.
