Can I donate PRBC directly?

Not directly through standard whole-blood donation — your unit is separated into PRBC + plasma + platelets at the blood bank. Through apheresis (double-red-cell donation) you can give two units of red cells in one visit. Apheresis donation has a longer cooldown (168 days).

What's the cost of one unit of PRBC at government blood banks?

Government blood banks across India charge a fixed processing fee of approximately ₹1,100 per unit of PRBC, regulated by the National Blood Transfusion Council. Thalassaemia, Sickle Cell, BPL, and certain other categories are exempt from the fee.
