The need for blood donations drastically increases during crises, so it&#8217;s important to maintain a steady supply of blood and ensure that donors are available and informed. Regular donations help build a reliable reserve to meet the urgent needs of patients and healthcare facilities across the country.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-blood-donation-process\">The blood donation process<\/h3>    <p><\/p>    <p>We recommend asking someone who has donated blood before about their experience. The entire process takes only about 45 minutes. Healthcare professionals will take your personal information, then test your hemoglobin count to see if you can donate. <\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>Usually, the normal range is <strong>13.8 to 17.2 g\/dL in men<\/strong> and <strong>12.1 to 15.1 g\/dL in women<\/strong>. If your hemoglobin level is exactly at the lower end of the range (13.8 g\/dL or 12.1 g\/dL), you are not eligible to donate blood. Since the blood donation process lowers hemoglobin levels, you would be at risk of falling below the normal range.<\/p>    <p><\/p>   <div class=\"lazy-load-block-container\"><img style=\"width: auto; height: auto;\" class=\"lazy-load-block\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/bdinside.jpg\" alt=\"Donating Blood in Lebanon: Everything You Need to Know\" \/><\/div>   <p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-665f1d6c27fd11abcf34960661c7e0aa\">Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/aubmc.org.lb\/Pages\/Donate-Blood-Today-to-Save-Someone-One-Day.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AUBMC<\/a><\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>Once you&#8217;re confirmed as an eligible donor, a healthcare professional will prepare a sterile needle to collect blood.
