What Does DDR Stand For?
DDR stands for Donor Deferral Registry
The Donor Deferral Registry (DDR) is a comprehensive database designed to track individuals who have been temporarily or permanently deferred from donating blood or organs due to various medical, behavioral, or regulatory reasons. The registry aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of the donation process by preventing eligible donors from inadvertently attempting to donate when they are not permitted. By maintaining accurate records and facilitating communication among donation centers, the DDR plays a crucial role in upholding public health standards and ensuring the integrity of the donation system.
