While transfusion-transmissible diseases, including AIDS and viral hepatitis, continue to spread especially in developing countries, the issue of safeguarding the world's blood supply is of paramount importance. China houses more than 20% of the earth's population, and thus its blood supply has the potential to affect the global community. In recent years, Chinese blood centres have tried to improve the nation's blood safety. Although substantial progress has already been made, many daunting difficulties remain. Traditional cultural barriers need to be overcome to successfully mobilise volunteer blood donors. Gaps in information and technology still need to be closed. Insufficiency of economic resources also restrict the blood bank industry. Other developing countries face many of the same challenges as China.
虽然包括艾滋病和病毒性肝炎在内的输血传播疾病仍在继续蔓延，尤其是在发展中国家，但保障全球血液供应的问题至关重要。中国拥有全球20%以上的人口，因此其血液供应有可能影响全球。近年来，中国血液中心一直努力改善国家的血液安全状况。尽管已经取得了重大进展，但仍有许多艰巨的困难。要成功动员无偿献血者，需要克服传统文化障碍。信息和技术方面的差距仍有待弥合。经济资源不足也制约着血库行业。其他发展中国家面临着许多与中国相同的挑战。
