than 1% of the population

All countries to obtain all blood supplies from voluntary
unpaid donors by 2020.
So continuous efforts are needed for devising successful
recruitment and retention strategies.

About 80% of the global population who lives in
developing countries , has access to only 40% of the global
supply of safe blood.
