An undeniable impact of the mediacampaign can be observed amonggovernment officials and policymakers, who are starting tounderstand that blood safety is notonly a laboratory issue. The MoHexpressed its interest in puttingblood safety high on the policyagenda, and a draft NationalPolicy on Blood TransfusionServices was submitted by theNBTC for approbation.One of the major successes ofWHD 2000 was the creation of apartnership between the MoH/NBTC and the IFRC/CRC. Thispartnership is an encouragingstep towards the greaterinvolvement of the CRC in avoluntary blood donor recruitmentprogramme and, thereby, newhope for improved transfusionservices and availability of safeblood and blood products inCambodia. ▲Blood donor recognitionFor more information on bloodsafety activities in Cambodia,contact:Medical OfficerInternational Committee of the RedCross81 Boulevard Sothea-Ros(ex Boulevard Lenine)Phnom PenhTel: (855 23) 426 160/ 360 071Fax: (855 23) 362 071/ 426 275E-mail: icrcphnkh@pactok104 ▲ WORLD HEALTH DAY ▼ SAFE BLOOD STARTS WITH ME

Everyoneshould therefore be concernedabout the safety of blood supplies.The Minister of Health expressedhis appreciation to all blooddonors and said that a largenumber of blood donors is neededif China is to have a safe andadequate blood supply.Blood transfusions can save lives,but contaminated blood can alsotransmit diseases such ashepatitis and HIV/AIDS. Indeveloping nations, as much as5% of all cases of the HIV virusare transmitted through bloodtransfusions.Voluntary blood donations wherethe donor is not paid substantiallyreduce the risks of transfusiontransmissible infections, said theWHO Representative. Threemillion people have donated theirblood voluntarily since the BloodDonation Law took effect on1 October 1998, This laweliminated the practice of payingfor blood donations and instituteda system of unpaid, voluntarydonation.China still needs to build a nonremuneratedblood donationsystem, said State Councillor PengPeiyun. Many people still havemisgivings about donating blood,believing blood loss can damagetheir own health. But blooddonation is not harmful, statesDr Lu Daopei as blood is alwaysregenerating.Health workers were on severalBeijing streets to encourage blooddonation. “Our station receivedhundreds of people this morning”said a health worker at a bloodeducation station of WangfujingStreet.Mr Wang Bin, champion blood donorThe Number One blood donor, 50year-old Mr Wang Bin, a cadre atthe Health Division of the CentralParty School of the CommunistParty of China, donated a total of11 200 millilitres of bloodbetween 1988 and 1999.
