Japan to start exporting blood products to developing nations

Japan will start exporting human blood products for the first time in 57 years to support healthcare services in developing countries, it has been learned.

The products will be used to treat hemophilia sufferers and other patients, according to sources.

The Tokyo-based Japan Blood Products Organization will start making donations as early as this month to the Canada-based World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). The donations will be delivered to developing nations and other countries where blood products are not easily available.
