FW: Damu Sasa & University of Nairobi Partner to tackle Blood Management Problem in Kenya

The study, which is funded by the <https://damu-sasa.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eff43e0067c2bd794f33c3…> International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada with <https://damu-sasa.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eff43e0067c2bd794f33c3…> Villgro Africa as the administering agency, will focus on understanding the blood services ecosystem in Kenya, ways in which blood donations can be enhanced, and how technology can be utilized to improve the situation. According to the WHO, Kenya needs close to one million units of blood every year. However, this target is rarely achieved, with the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service ( <https://damu-sasa.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eff43e0067c2bd794f33c3…> KNBTS) collecting approximately 30% of the optimal target. “The perennial problem calls for a systematic approach to understanding the dimensions of the causes of the poor response to donations,” said Dr Matunda Nyanchama, the Damu Sasa Executive Chairman. “Only then can there be an optimal solution to alleviate things in the current situation,” he added. The study is expected to benefit the healthcare industry with insights that could lead to innovative practices to boost blood donations and entrench a regular and voluntary donation culture. It will be carried out in 47 counties, and target public, private and mission-managed healthcare transfusion facilities, as well as the Kenyan public. The project underlines the IDRC’s commitment to supporting projects that have high impact potential on the lives of the people. On their part, Villgro Africa is committed to assisting start-ups whose work has high potential to benefit society in the continent and the rest of the world. In the past, Villgro Africa has supported Damu Sasa to build technology capabilities that enabled blood donations to continue even in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic, specifically the physical distance requirements. Speaking at the project inauguration, the University of Nairobi’s Prof. Julius A. Ogeng'o, Deputy Vice-Chancellor in charge of academic affairs said, “there is a need for elevated collaboration between academic institutions and industry.” He added that the University of Nairobi, a regional leader in research and teaching, “has adequate and fully-qualified resources to support initiatives such as this one.” He took note of the multi-disciplinary composition of the team, saying that most problems in society today need such an approach of diverse expertise and experience.
