Voluntary nonremunerated donation stands for the framework of a solid, safe, and sustainable blood supply; for this reason, the World Health Organization has set a goal toward achieving 100% voluntary nonremunerated blood donation in 2020. However, in Lebanon like in most developing countries, the majority of blood donations still come from family/replacement donors (around 75%) followed by voluntary donors for only 15%; compensated donors yet account for 10% of blood donations. Lebanon has a decentralized and fragmented blood supply system where private health care facilities predominate over the public system; thus, numerous challenges and roadblocks-that are discussed in this article-are likely to delay the fulfillment of the WHO resolution. By properly addressing (and resolving) those caveats, it should be expected that Lebanon can forecast achieving (or at least getting close to) 100% voluntary nonremunerated blood donation within the next decade.
自愿无偿献血是稳固、安全和可持续血液供应体系的框架；因此，世界卫生组织设定了到2020年实现100%自愿无偿献血的目标。然而，与大多数发展中国家一样，黎巴嫩的大多数献血仍来自家庭/替代献血者（约75%），自愿献血者仅占15%；有偿献血者占献血量的10%。黎巴嫩的血液供应系统分散且碎片化，私立医疗设施在公共系统中占主导地位；因此，本文中讨论的诸多挑战和障碍可能会延迟世界卫生组织决议的实现。通过妥善处理（并解决）这些问题，预计黎巴嫩能够在未来十年内实现（或至少接近）100%自愿无偿献血。
