Why has mutual blood donation been completely stopped?

As an emergency means of unpaid blood donation, mutual blood donation has existed in China for nearly 20 years. It has helped countless patients solve the problem of blood use, and at the same time, it has also become a breeding ground for illegal blood trafficking.

According to the plan of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, March 31, 2018, that is, yesterday, is the time for the complete cancellation of mutual blood donation across the country. From April 1, 2018, that is, today, except for a few remote areas, almost all medical institutions in China will use blood for clinical purposes from voluntary and spontaneous blood donations from the public.

Behind this, everyone needs to show their kindness as a stranger, and at the same time, I hope that this kindness will not be disappointed.

Previously, according to Article 15 of the Blood Donation Law of the People's Republic of China, in order to ensure the needs of citizens for clinical emergency blood, the state advocates and guides patients undergoing elective surgery to store their own blood, and mobilizes families, relatives and friends, their units and society to donate blood together. For a long time, in clinical practice, mutual blood donation has been an emergency means of unpaid blood donation.

The issuance of Document No. 27 will mean that starting from February 10, 2018, all blood needed in the clinical needs of major hospitals in Beijing will have to rely on unpaid blood donations.

Although mutual blood donation ostensibly solves the problem of blood tension, it is a poison to promote the cause of unpaid blood donation. ”

On September 6, 2017, Nanning, Guangxi Province, announced the investigation process of a criminal gang that illegally organized the sale of blood. The gang illegally bought and sold more than 800,000 milliliters of blood, and the amount involved amounted to more than 200 yuan. In the end, the eight criminals were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year and five months to one year and six months, and were also fined.

A day later, Nanning announced that it would completely stop mutual aid blood donation. Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and other places have successively canceled mutual blood donation.

According to the relevant data released by the Health and Family Planning Commission, through the joint efforts of all localities, the national mutual aid blood donation rate has decreased year by year, in 2016, and further in 2017. But behind this set of data, Beijing has become a counterexample, due to the number of patients with blood diseases, the proportion of mutual blood donations in Beijing has not decreased, but has increased every year, in 2017, the figure was 21%.

Blood donation is selfless dedication, the blood of the two is different, there is healthy blood, there is sick blood, how much black money has been collected by the generation of big hospitals, is it not good to pay for some blood,

Mutual blood donation is not a good way to do it.

If there is no blood in the blood bank, the only way to do this is to ask the patient's relatives or friends to donate blood to replenish the capacity of the bank.

Mutual blood donation has nothing to do with blood reimbursement, and there is a relevant system for reimbursement, which is generally reimbursed by the blood donor's person, parents, and children, and most of them can be reimbursed one month after donating blood. Mutual blood donation is generally emergency blood and often does not have enough time limit for reimbursement.

The time limit for reimbursement is also set to allow people to participate in blood donation at ordinary times, if they are all donating blood for their own use, how can there be blood in the blood bank?

When a patient is acutely ill, it is important to have blood.

For a bag of 200 ml of blood, the blood station gives the hospital ** 220 yuan, and the cost of collecting a bag of blood is much higher than this price.

The cost of blood from collection, testing, to separation, storage, and distribution is very high. However, when it comes to testing, it is necessary to strictly test blood type, aminotransferases, hemoglobin, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, syphilis and other items more than twice to ensure that there is no problem with the blood at all.

All revenues and expenditures of blood banks are borne by the State, in order to ensure that safety is not neglected for the sake of profit.

It is the sole responsibility of the blood bank to ensure the safety and need of blood.

As a repeat blood donor, I am very dissatisfied with the use of mutual blood donation at many blood stations.

Mutual blood donation is a method adopted by blood stations that cannot meet the needs of medical blood, and if they do not want to solve the shortage of blood, it is the dereliction of duty of the leadership, and it is their incompetence to let the patient's family find blood.

We hope that more people will actively join the ranks of unpaid blood donation, donate blood at ordinary times, do not panic when they need to use blood, and can also reimburse the cost of blood use, and all the costs of the blood station cannot be collected, and all are returned to the blood donors.

I wish all families had blood donations, so that everyone would have free blood. Blood banks only have expenditures and no revenues, which of course are all state expenditures.

The state is not afraid of spending, it is afraid of bloodlessness.

So according to you, how should you implement the unpaid blood donation system?

Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what kind of money does the blood bank make?

Come, explain, what is meant by "ordinary family members cannot be reimbursed" - how to define the average family member does not want a penny of blood, do you dare to use it? How many countries in the world do not need money for blood transfusions?

Patients always have spouses, children, and parents, why don't they donate blood at ordinary times, use blood at critical moments, and complain about mutual blood donation, if so, as a person who insists on donating blood for free, should I feel that it is unfair to us if mutual blood donation is used for general family members for free, if you donate more than a certain amount of blood, saving the lives of others, it is also a guarantee for yourself.

At present, only the person and his immediate family and spouse can be reimbursed for blood donation.

My grandmother broke her thigh a few days ago and had to have an operation, my parents donated blood in a different place, and the doctor said it was useless, so I had to donate blood on the spot, and my grandmother could operate. Fortunately, I have a lot of cousins in my family, so I can give if I say yes.

But what about those who have few relatives? What should I do if some relatives are over 60 or under 18 and cannot donate blood to each other?

After reading the Internet, some people say that parents who donate blood regularly have accumulated 800cc, and when their children want blood transfusions, they have to have on-site blood transfusions.

In other words, there is no use in donating blood?

Particularly doubtful, solve???

China's blood donation law stipulates that China implements a free blood donation system, and in order to protect the needs of citizens for clinical emergency blood, patients can find relatives and friends to help each other donate blood. This means that the scope of mutual blood donation is the patient's relatives and friends, and Lu Fang is a free early waiter, but the blood heads are letting social personnel pretend to be the patient's relatives and friends to "donate blood" to seek benefits. According to the lawyer, this act has constituted the crime of illegally organizing the sale of blood.

It is understood that in the blood head organization, there is a special person responsible for distributing business cards and small advertisements printed with blood sales information in the hospital, and patients and their families who need a large amount of blood will find the blood head through small advertisements to determine the amount of blood and **, generally 400cc of blood is about 2000 yuan. In addition, the reporter found on social software such as Tieba that people often post articles looking for blood sources, mostly outsiders who have undergone surgery in Beijing hospitals.

Generally speaking, the blood head line is responsible for contacting patients or patients' families who need blood in the hospital, agreeing on the amount of blood, blood type, and time of blood use, and charging a "benefit fee" according to the amount of blood used; The downline is responsible for finding blood sellers on the Internet, agreeing with them to sell blood** and then bringing them to the hospital.

The ** of a single 400cc blood is about 2,000 yuan, and these costs are gradually drawn between the upper and lower lines, and finally to the hands of blood sellers, which are generally between 400-600 yuan.

Voluntary unpaid blood donation is an important measure of the degree of social civilization and a glorious act of saving lives and saving lives.

Since 2009, some areas have been affected by a variety of factors, and some areas have carried out a blood donation model with patients' relatives and friends as the first.

Since then, it has developed into a model of "mutual blood donation" as "mutual blood donation" as the society calls "mutual blood donation" before the patient's blood use, or the family members mobilize relatives and friends to donate blood, and the patient's blood is linked to the amount of blood donated by family members and friends.

The World Health Organization divides blood donation into three modes: paid, home substitution and unpaid blood donation.

Because mutual blood donation has a certain orientation and compulsion, it is equivalent to family substitution blood donation, so it does not belong to the category of unpaid blood donation.

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) called on Member States to achieve all blood** from voluntary, unpaid blood donors by 2020.

Although mutual blood donation has alleviated the local blood shortage for a certain period of time, it also increases the burden of patients seeking medical treatment, breeds illegal acts of "blood trading", has potential risks to blood safety, and violates the principle of voluntary, unpaid, and non-trading blood donation stipulated in the Blood Donation Law.

In recent years, the relevant departments of the state have taken multiple measures to standardize blood management, promote voluntary unpaid blood donation, and effectively ensure blood safety**.

At present, the proportion of voluntary unpaid blood donation in China has exceeded the average level of developed countries.

However, with the development of China's medical technology level, people's medical needs have been continuously released, and the amount of clinical blood in China has increased.

As an important medical resource, blood cannot be artificially made, and can only come from voluntary and unpaid donations from caring people.

In order to carry forward the core values of socialism, build a harmonious society, establish a new social style, and spread the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded, we hereby call on people from all walks of life to pay attention to unpaid blood donation and respond to the call of World Blood Donor Day

The meaning of this sentence is: if you donate blood to others, others will also donate to you when you need it, so it is called donating blood to each other.

Mutual blood donation is one of the forms of unpaid blood donation recognized by laws and regulations related to blood donation. Compared with individual and group unpaid blood donation, mutual blood donation has a clearer direction and purpose, and blood donors and blood users usually have direct relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc., or indirect social relationships. The donor is generally considered to be an emergency recruited donor.

When there is a severe shortage of unpaid blood donors, mutual blood donation can play a role in quickly mobilizing blood donors, thereby alleviating the shortage of blood supply.

In addition, once blood donors realize that their blood donation can be used to save the lives of relatives and others, they may at some point in the future become regular voluntary blood donors, which will bring safe and sufficient blood to the blood transfusion.

The proportion of mutual blood donors in Nanning is too large, and it has become a hotbed for illegal blood trafficking! Since the beginning of this year, a total of eight "blood heads" have been sentenced, and three gangs that illegally buy and sell blood have been smashed. At present, Nanning has completely stopped mutual blood donation.

Three illegal gangs have been entrenched for a long time

On the morning of September 6, the Nanning Municipal Health and Family Planning Supervision Department jointly held a briefing on the "Red Storm" crackdown on illegal blood trafficking.

At the briefing, Feng Shaoxiong, director of the Nanning Municipal Health and Family Planning Supervision Institute, said that in recent years, the illegal trade of blood in Nanning City has been serious.

In the vicinity of the Nanning blood station, there have long been three organized criminal gangs with a division of labor. They search for blood donors and patients through QQ groups and small cards, and each gang has its own "territory".

A bag of 400 ml of whole blood, the "blood head" is purchased from the blood seller at a price of 300 yuan to 400 yuan, and then sold to the patient at a price of 600 yuan to 800 yuan, a unit of platelets, the purchase price of the "blood head" is 400 yuan to 800 yuan, and the selling price is as high as 1100 yuan to 1500 yuan.

Chen Yang, deputy director of the Nanning Central Blood Station, said that after the staff of the station discovered the blood selling gang, they dissuaded and drove them away many times, but the high profits made the blood selling organization personnel very rampant, and the personal safety of the blood station staff was also threatened.

Eight "bloody heads" were arrested

Since March 25, 2016, on the basis of a careful investigation in the early stage, the Nanning Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission and the Nanning Municipal Public Security Bureau have arrested the main members of the three criminal gangs.

Nine criminal suspects who were engaged in blood trading were arrested on the spot, and a batch of physical evidence such as account books and information registration forms of mutual aid blood donors were seized in the dens of criminal gangs. After being arrested online, two other criminal suspects were arrested in Yulin City, Guangxi Province, and Kunming City, Yunnan Province.

It has been verified that 11 criminal suspects of three criminal gangs illegally organized the sale of more than 800,000 milliliters of blood, and the amount involved amounted to more than 200 yuan.

Since the beginning of this year, criminal suspects have been sentenced one after another, and eight "bloody heads" have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 1 year and 5 months to 1 year and 6 months, and fines.

Nanning has completely stopped mutual blood donation

According to the World Health Organization, if the proportion of unpaid blood donations is more than 5%, there is a risk of illegal trafficking. According to statistics, in 2014 and 2015, the proportion of mutual blood donations in Nanning exceeded 50%. This provides a "breeding ground" for the illegal trade in blood!

In addition, blood sellers often donate blood blindly regardless of their own health in order to pursue profits; There are also huge safety risks for citizens and patients who buy blood from unknown sources.

At present, Nanning has completely stopped the method of mutual blood donation.

Donating blood is a public good, but selling blood is not.
