Iraq
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 the northern and north-eastern parts of the country, but there is no malaria risk, for example, in Bagdad.
