Donors were screened for seroprevalence of HCV along with other necessary tests. Screening of HCV was done by Elisa method. Results: The Seroprevalence of HCV was 0.22% in total donors. Conclusion: The Seroprevalence is decreasing from 2007 to 2011 in this study in this type of infection. But it should be noted that maximum donors are voluntary (79.33%) who have donated blood in big blood donation camps. To reduce the seroprevalence still low, the selection of voluntary donors should be of high quality.
