The statistic shows only a very rough numbers, as aphereses donations (donations of blood components) are not included, and as definitions of full blood donations vary from country to country. Population numbers were collected from EU-statistics and the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

 

If all countries used as much blood as the country with the highest consumption (Denmark), the enlarged EU and the EEA would need at least 11.259.094 full blood donations more - based on 2001 numbers. Consumption in Denmark grew approximately 4 % from 2001 to 2002, so we have a huge challenge ahead of us in Europe, if all Europeans shall have the same access to safe blood.
