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.
