Peru

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 some parts of the country, but there is no risk of malaria, for example, in the capital, Lima, the entire coastal region, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titicaca or the area surrounding the Inca Trail.
