Blood donation and institutional altruism in China

An ethnographic study was conducted with 57 interviews of blood centre staff and blood donors as well as observations of mobile blood vans in Northern China. The presence of institutional altruism such as sending SMS messages and mobilising public gift giving during historic events was examined to better promote voluntary blood donation in contemporary China.
