Can I walk in and donate blood at any blood bank?
Many licensed blood banks accept walk‑in donors, but:
· Some require you to come during specific hours for donation (e.g., daytime sessions even if they supply blood 24/7).
· Some may require you to call and book an appointment, especially for apheresis (platelet) donations.
· ID (such as CNIC) is usually required.
It is a good idea to:
· Call the blood bank using the number listed in RedLife or on their website.
· Ask about donation hours, eligibility rules, and whether you should eat/drink beforehand.
· Confirm whether they are currently in need of your blood group.
