Voluntary Unpaid Blood Donors are persons who give blood, plasma or other blood components of their own free will and in return do not ask for blood or receive payment for it, either in form of cash or in kind which could be considered a substitute for money, including time off work other than reasonably needed for the donation and travel.

Replacement Blood Donor is a member of the family or a friend of the patient who donates blood in replacement of blood needed for the particular patient without involvement of any monetary or other benefits from any source.
