Why when you go to a hospital to donate blood they take your phone number?
Aug 21, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Donated blood goes through a series of tests for viruses like HIV and hepatitis, and others. So suppose that the blood turns out to carry one of those viruses, you would want to be contacted about this in order to receive the right treatment. This is the main reason why they register your phone number.
