If you have recently travelled in a malaria-risk area, please wait six months before donating blood after returning to Finland.

Travelling elsewhere in the country results in a 28-day donation deferral period and living in the country results in a three-month donation deferral period. Malaria occurs in most parts of the country, but there is no risk of malaria in the mountainous regions of the north (in the regions of Jammu and Kashmir and the states of Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim).
