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.

Malaria occurs in some parts of the country, but there is no malaria risk, for example, in Rio de Janeiro, Belém, São Paulo, Salvador, the east coast or the Iguazu Falls.
