Results: 51.4% of the participants were blood donors, 32.5% were willing but not yet donated, 4.1% did not consider to donate, and 12.0% could not forgive due to medical reasons. Additionally, It was found that 52.8% of health personnel were volunteer for organ donation, however, 16.7% of them had organ donation card.
