Why should China implement the system of voluntary blood donation?

Voluntary blood donation was proposed and advocated by the International Red Cross and the World Health Organization in 1930s, and this system is still in use in China.

After decades of unremitting efforts, many countries in the world have gradually changed from paid blood donation to unpaid blood donation, and finally realized citizens' unpaid blood donation. For example, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, the United States, Canada and other countries have all or basically realized citizens' free blood donation. From 65438 to 0984, the Ministry of Health and China Red Cross Society advocated voluntary blood donation throughout the country, and Shenzhen and Hainan Province took the lead in establishing a voluntary blood donation system through local legislation.

After vigorous publicity, the number of blood donors in Shenzhen has reached 42% for medical and clinical use from 65438 to 0996. Free blood donation is a system that reflects the progress of social civilization. However, due to the influence of ideas, a good atmosphere of voluntary blood donation has not been generally formed in China, and blood for medical clinical use mainly depends on individual blood donation and voluntary blood donation. It is very necessary for the state to establish a system of voluntary blood donation through legislation to promote the development of voluntary blood donation in China.
