Article 9 of the Blood Donation Law stipulates that blood stations must conduct necessary health examinations for blood donors free of charge.
These tests are necessary to ensure the health of blood donors and the safety of blood supplied to patients.
The above is the content on page 6 of the body of the Requirements for Health Examination of Blood Donors (GB18467-2011) issued by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Health. The formulation unit of this national standard has not made any comments or further explanations on "meeting relevant requirements".
On the contrary, Macao Blood Donation Center, which carries out quality control according to the standards of European Blood Transfusion Committee, must use nucleic acid detection technology (NAT) to detect hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, first-time blood donors will also test for human T-lymphocyte leukemia virus.
Because there is a "window period" for virus antibody detection, there have been cases in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province where recipients were infected with AIDS or hepatitis C virus due to transfusion of blood from blood donors who met the relevant standards.
