In terms of blood, Jehovah's Witnesses do not donate or take (in whole forms of blood). This is their only religious restriction in terms of healthcare.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that a persons health should be protected and consult qualified healthcare professionals when they need to.

In this case, Jehovah's Witnesses have websites and they openly explain what their beliefs are. Please see links below for official Watchtower views and alternate views.

For the most part, like most people, Jehovah's Witnesses are very pro-active about health care and are known to be very informed about health care. We go to doctors, we get operations, we take prescription medications and OTC medications. There are a few areas where we are encouraged to be more informed when making major medical decisions.

We believe like anyone else that has a health issue that need medical attention, however just like anyone else we want the best healthcare possible, but when there are concern for the use of blood, we follow what The Bible says; Acts 15:28 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things. verse 29 says to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from sexual immorality. if you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper, Good health to you. jw.org
