A PREGNANT woman from Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, was told by a hospital that they would not deliver her baby until a relative donated blood. The demand was questioned by the public, but Nanjing Health Bureau said it was reasonable.
The woman went to Meishan Hospital to give birth on February 28. However, the hospital demanded her family donate blood at a local center first, and the surgery was delayed for one day while her husband gave blood.
But the hospital's demand was later questioned by many people, as such obligatory donations are not supported by the Law on Blood Donation, which only "encourages" patient's relatives to donate blood before operations, Modern Express reported yesterday.
"Local blood bank is short of blood recently," an official at Meishan Hospital told the newspaper, "They told us they would supply us blood only if patients' relatives and friends could show their recent blood donation certificates, or the patient is in critical condition."
"The bottom line is we are short of blood," an official from the Nanjing Blood Center told the newspaper.
