Worldwide supply of blood and blood products

Abstract

Abstract Blood services have achieved a high degree of sophistication, but there remain serious logistic problems which interfere with the adequacy of blood supplies. Many countries have not been able to implement modern component therapy. Supplies of certain specialized products, such as factor VIII, are insufficient almost everywhere. There is a lively international trade in blood products, and corresponding evidence of disease transmission when the rate of infection is relatively high in the exporting region. The answer to these problems lies in the development everywhere of effective blood programs, based on the organization of nonremunerated blood donors.
