4. Blood donors donate blood free of charge, but why it is not free when we need to use blood in hospital treatment?

Following the principle of blood donation first followed by blood use, when blood donors -- or their parents, spouses and children need clinical blood use -- donors are exempt from the cost of blood collection and supply; spouses, parents and children of blood donors are exempt from the cost of blood collection and supply according to the amount of blood donated by the donors.
