Questions about blood banks in Lagos
Where can I donate blood in Lagos?
Start with any Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service screening centre — the listing on this page covers centres in Ikeja, Yaba, Surulere, Ikorodu, Igando, Gbagada and Lagos Island. You can also register as a donor on Spark Blood and get alerted only when a hospital near you runs short of your group.
Which hospital has blood in Lagos right now?
Stock changes by the hour, so always call ahead. LASUTH (Ikeja) and LUTH (Idi-Araba) carry the largest volumes, but no bank publishes live stock. If the bank is out of your group, post an emergency request on Spark Blood and compatible donors near that hospital are alerted within minutes.
Is there an NBSA centre in Lagos?
No — Lagos does not have a dedicated National Blood Service Agency state centre. Lagos is covered by the NBSA Ibadan Zonal Centre, while in-state donation and screening are coordinated by the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service (LSBTS).
How much does a pint of blood cost in Lagos?
Blood itself is not sold — hospitals and private banks charge screening, processing and cross-matching fees, which in Lagos commonly range from ₦20,000 to ₦50,000 per unit depending on the facility. NBSA centres supply screened blood free of charge.
How long does it take to get blood in an emergency in Lagos?
If the hospital bank has your group, minutes. If it does not, families are usually asked to find replacement donors, which can take hours or days. Spark Blood cuts that to minutes by alerting eligible donors already registered near the hospital.
