    The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 on blood donations at the blood bank service of the Hipólito Unanue Hospital in Lima during 2020. The methodology used was quantitative, basic, non-experimental design with a deductive method. The sample consisted of records from the Blood Donation Unit of the hospital’s Blood Bank during 2019 and 2020. The technique used was documentary, employing two matrices: the first to collect information on donations during the specified period, and the second on unsuitable donors. These instruments were validated for reliability through expert judgment. The results revealed that blood donations decreased by 47%, while blood transfusion requirements only increased by 0.05%. Some reasons for donor ineligibility increased, such as low hemoglobin, unsuitable veins, and recent partner, while others decreased, such as risky behavior, jaundice, and infectious processes. It was concluded that there was a significant change in the number of donors before and after the COVID-19 pandemic (p<0.05).
