Watch an interview with Alex Chikwese, Director of Finance for ZNBTS.
In Zambia, blood safety is among the priority medical interventions
that are expected to significantly contribute to the achievement of the
Millennium Development Goals (“MDGs”), especially those related to
child and maternal health, fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic, TB and
malaria. The Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (“ZNBTS”), -
who have approached IICD for technical support - is working towards
the development and implementation of an appropriate electronic blood
donor tracking and retention system, Once implemented, the project is
expected to improve the efficiency and efficacy of blood donor
managment, including increased dependency on repeat donors, increases
in blood collections and reductions in discarded samples, due to
transfusion transmissible infections.
