Dubai: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that the UAE and China have made great achievement in getting rid of risk of contracting various diseases from contaminated blood from blood donors, adding that the two countries boast of 100 per cent disease-free blood donation scheme.
The organisation urged the two countries to boost up their system to make them a role model for others to follow.
This came in a WHO report issued at the end of the World Blood Donation Week, organised by the UAE this year under the auspices of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The UAE was the first country in the region to have stopped the importing of blood in 1984 following the discovery of HIV/Aids and other contagious viruses.
