世界獻血者日：血液連接你和我

血液可以以全血形式使用，也可將其按成分處理而使用，即從血液中分離出來的紅細胞、血小板、血漿以及其他可用於治療多種疾病的「物質」。一單位的血液可使數個病人受益。

每年，在衝突和自然災害等緊急事件、輸血和分娩過程中，血液和血液製品的輸送幫助拯救了數百萬人的生命。血液和血液製品使生命垂危的病人得以存活更長的時間，並獲得更高的生活質量，也能支持複雜的醫療和手術程序。

中國的血液供應

獻血者的定期無償獻血是確保血液供應安全的基礎，因為通過此種形式，由輸血而造成的艾滋病毒和肝炎病毒等感染的風險較低。

但在中國每100人中只有不到1名定期獻血者。我們需要更多的英雄加入定期獻血。一品托（約500cc）的血液即能拯救3個人的生命！

近年來，中國在提高血液安全方面投入了大量的資金和精力，包括引進最新的技術，用於篩除帶有艾滋病毒和肝炎等病毒的獻血。引進這些新的檢測和篩查技術，意味著血液製品的篩查變得更安全。

做一名英雄！

「儘管自願無償獻血的獻血者來自社會各行各業，但是他們有一個共同點：先人後己——即使是陌生人。他們的每一次獻血，都是無私的英雄之舉！」

——Edward Kelley博士

世衛組織服務提供和安全司司長

生命無價。通過獻血，我們能夠拯救生命，這是每一個英雄都會去做的事。今天是世界獻血者日。如果你還沒有獻過血，就從今天開始吧！

World blood donor day: Blood connects us all

Every year on 14th June, countries around the world celebrateWorld Blood Donor Day. This year, the theme of World Blood Donor Day is「Blood connects us all」, highlighting the common bond that all people share in their blood. The slogan, 「Share life, give blood」, draws attention to the role that voluntary donation systems play in encouraging people to care for one another and promote community cohesion.

「Although we have many external differences, the same vital blood pumps through all our veins,」 said Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. 「Voluntary, unpaid blood donation is the act of giving life – the greatest gift any person can give or receive.」

About 108 million blood donations are collected globally every year. Nearly 50% of these blood donations are collected in high-income countries, home to less than 20% of the world』s population. The average blood donation rate is more than 9 times greater in high-income countries than in low-income countries.

However, in many countries, demand exceeds supply, and blood services face the challenge of making sufficient blood available, while also ensuring its quality and safety. An adequate supply can only be assured through regular donations by voluntary, unpaid blood donors.

Blood can be used whole, or separated into its component parts, such as red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and other 「substances」 that can be used to treat a wide range of diseases. A single unit of blood can be used to benefit several patients.

Transfusions of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year, including during emergencies such as conflicts and natural disasters, transfusions and childbirth. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures.

Blood supply in China

Regular voluntary unpaid blood donors are the foundation of a safe blood supply because they are associated with low levels of infection that can be transmitted by transfusions, including HIV and hepatitis viruses.

However, in China, less than 1 in 100 people are regularly donating blood. We need more heroes to donate blood regularly. One pint of blood can save 3 lives!

China has invested a tremendous amount of money and effort to improve blood safety in recent years, including updating the technology used to screen donated blood for diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis. The introduction of these new testing and screening technologies mean safer screening for blood products.

Be a hero!

「Voluntary blood donors come from all walks of life but they have one thing in common: they put others before themselves — people they don』t even know,」 said Dr Ed Kelley, Director of the Department of Service Delivery and Safety at WHO. 「Each time they donate blood, they commit an act of selfless heroism.」

Life is priceless. By sharing blood, we can save life, just like what a hero would do. Today is World Blood Donor Day. If you have never donated blood, start today!
