Blood donation is a remarkably safe medical procedure. However, it is affected by attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge level. A knowledge, attitude, and practice survey was carried out in Albania, KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and Turkey to understand and identify: (1) the factors that influence blood donation, and stop people from blood donation, (2) the behavior and approach of the people towards blood donation (3) the knowledge level among donors and non-donors, and (4) the blood donation-related misconceptions.
