A member asked:

How to increase haemoglobin level in blood so i will be qualified for bood donation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: It is laudable that you wish to donate blood. Do you know what your hemoglobin level is? If it is less than 12, you should consult a doctor so that the treatment may be tailored to the cause. Menstruating women often have iron deficiency and you may wish to take oral iron supplement and multivitamins.
