Can China’s large population help alleviate blood shortages?


This information in this question / answer was generously provided by AABB. Any errors are those of the site admin, not AABB.

Mention of specific products or equipment in this AABB publication does not represent an endorsement of such products by the AABB nor does it necessarily indicate a preference for those products over similar competitive products.

Efforts are made to have publications of the AABB consistent in regard to acceptable practices. However, they may not be. As new developments in the field of relationship testing occur, changes may be recommended to the AABB Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services. It is not possible, however, to revise each publication at the time such a change is adopted. Thus, it is essential that the most recent edition of the Standards be consulted as a reference in regard to current acceptable practices.

Not for anyone Rh neg - the instance is only 1% of the population. My uncle isn't allowed to work in China as he has a high-risk job and is O-Neg

 

Edit - The ranking of ABO blood groups phenotypic distribution in China is O > A > B > AB. The proportions of A, B, O and AB type in China population are 28.72%, 28.17%, 34.20%, and 8.91%, respectively.
