How long after giving birth can I donate blood?

Blood is very scarce now, and we need continuous help from people in the society and blood donations from volunteers. Increasing the blood volume in the blood bank meets the standards. You can go to the hospital to donate blood voluntarily. Many mothers feel that their bodies have recovered well after giving birth, and they will also go to the hospital to donate blood voluntarily. However, their bodies are relatively weak after giving birth, so it is not recommended to donate blood directly at this time. The following principles need to be followed to meet the needs of the blood donation group.

In order to ensure the health of blood donors, the "Blood Donor Health Examination Standards" stipulate that blood donors must undergo the following physical examinations:
