Fact sheet: I need to know if people who have had cancer can still donate blood? |
We created iTransfuse Fact sheets to provide basic information about blood, blood components, transfusion and related concepts. These are produced fortnightly so new sheets are constantly added.
The current collection can be downloaded individually from the document library below, or viewed as an online flip book.
If you have any suggestions for topics, or any feedback on the iTransfuse fact sheets, please email iTransfuse@redcrossblood.org.au
