Guidance
Iron deficiency is common in women of menstruating age due to chronic blood loss. Females diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia at workup should be offered a course of iron, and may donate once the haemoglobin has risen above a minimum threshold.
Any other donor should have been investigated for a cause for iron deficiency before they may be accepted on the register and donate. Discuss with the medical officer if necessary.
