Blood Donation – Your Contribution Matters
Cyprus has a chronic blood supply problem. With 900,000 residents, the donor pool is small. Summer months bring shortages. Your donation saves lives and takes less than an hour.
How It Works
Eligibility: 18-65 years, 50+ kg, healthy. Where: Blood bank departments in all General Hospitals and mobile drives. Walk-in, no appointment. Registration, health check, donation (10 min), recovery (15 min). Total: 30-45 minutes. Free.
The section on "Blood Donation – Your Contribution Matters" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.

Why You Should Donate
Donors and direct family have priority for blood supply in emergencies. Free health check included. A wonderful way to give back to Cypriot society.
Cypriot Specifics
Family donation system: patient's family traditionally asked to donate. Gradually supplemented by voluntary anonymous donations. Most common blood types: A+ and O+. Rare types especially sought.
