Many studies [1,7-9] state that CuSO4 screening leads to failure of donors with adequate Hb levels and therefore many deferred donors never return to donate [1,6,9].
The acceptance of first time donor is very important in establishing a positive attitude towards blood donation.
It is therefore necessary to device methods of providing relevant health-information to the donors deferred for low Hb and following them up for blood donation in the futures.
