Blood Donations related Scams :
The illegal blood donation industry operates covertly in various parts of the world, often exploiting vulnerable populations and compromising the safety of blood supplies.
India’s Black Market:
In India, the illegal blood market is a significant concern. Reports from 2017 estimated the industry’s worth at approximately ₹300 crore (around $45 million USD at that time). This underground market thrives due to shortages in legitimate blood supplies and involves unregulated transactions that pose health risks to recipients.
Global Concerns:
Internationally, the illegal trade in human body parts, including blood, has been documented. Scott Carney’s book, “The Red Market,” explores such illicit activities, highlighting cases like illegal “blood farms” in rural India where individuals are exploited for their blood.
Illegal Organ Trade:
- Global Statistics: The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that approximately 5,000 illegal transplants are performed annually, accounting for about 10% of all transplants worldwide. The organ trade, which includes illegal organ transplants, generates significant income, with conservative annual estimates between USD $840 million to USD $1.7 billion and 12,000 illegal transplants. organtraffickingresearch.orgtheexodusroad.com
- Forms of Exploitation: Organ trafficking often involves the coercion or exploitation of vulnerable individuals, including migrants and impoverished populations, who may be compelled to sell organs under duress. Recent reports have highlighted cases where individuals, facing dire economic circumstances, resorted to selling their kidneys to pay off debts and support their families. theguardian.com
