“…These results contrast with those of Kamina where the authors had reported 51.4% of volunteer blood donors [10], But similar to those of Lubumbashi where the category, family donors accounted for 62.27% [19]. Note that 72 countries among which the Democratic Republic of Congo, collecting more than 50% of their blood supplies through the gift of a family member/compensation or paid donors [21].…”

Seroprevalence among blood donors is a major public health problem, both in developed and developing countries, in its magnitude. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis B in blood donors. This is a descriptive study carried out in the city of Mbuji-Mayi at the General Hospital of Dipumba in blood donors (family, volunteer and remunerated) recorded from 01/to31/December 2016; the data were collected in a transverse fashion. The following observations were made: During the study period, 1584 blood donors were registered. After analyzing the data, the seroprevalence of hepatitis B in blood donors was 2.2%, 77.8% were male (sex ratio M/F 3.5 and voluntary donors were 50.4%.

“…More effort is required in the drive for education, motivation, and recruitment of regular donors. Most studies in Africa report a male dominance in blood donation programs (61% in Togo),145 (71.2% in Burkina Faso),146 and (90% in Ghana) 147. In a recent survey in Central, Western, and Eastern francophone African regions, all 7 countries surveyed reported less than 30% females in their donor population 148.…”

The challenges of meeting the blood transfusion requirements in Sub-Saharan Africa: the need for the development of alternatives to allogenic blood

As a resource, allogenic blood has never been more in demand than it is today. Escalating elective surgery, shortages arising from a fall in supply, a lack of national blood transfusion services, policies, appropriate infrastructure, trained personnel, and financial resources to support the running of a voluntary nonremunerated donor transfusion service, and old and emerging threats of transfusion-transmitted infection, have all conspired to ensure that allogenic blood remains very much a vital but limited asset to healthcare delivery particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is further aggravated by the predominance of family replacement and commercially remunerated blood donors, rather than regular benevolent, nonremunerated donors who give blood out of altruism. The demand for blood transfusion is high in Sub-Saharan Africa because of the high prevalence of anemia especially due to malaria and pregnancy-related complications. All stakeholders in blood transfusion have a significant challenge to apply the best available evidenced-based medical practices to the world-class management of this precious product in a bid to using blood more appropriately. Physicians in Sub-Saharan Africa must always keep in mind that the first and foremost strategy to avoid transfusion of allogenic blood is their thorough understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in anemia and coagulopathy, and their thoughtful adherence to the evidenced-based good practices used in the developed world in a bid to potentially reduce the likelihood of allogenic blood transfusion in many patient groups. There is an urgent need to develop innovative ways to recruit and retain voluntary low-risk blood donors. Concerns about adverse effects of allogenic blood transfusion should prompt a review of transfusion practices and justify the need to search for transfusion alternatives to decrease or avoid the use of allogenic blood. These strategies should include the correction of anemia using pharmacological measures (use of antifibrinolytics to prevent bleeding and the use of erythropoietin and oral and intravenous iron to treat anemia) use of nonpharmacologic measures (preoperative autologous blood transfusion, perioperative red blood cell salvage and normothermia to reduce blood loss in surgical patients). All these strategies will help optimize the use of the limited blood stocks.

“…In a similar study done in Sokoto, Nigerian females constituted only 0.6% of donors [4]. Reports from other parts West Africa show women contributing 10% in Ghana [6], and up to 28.8% and 30% in Burkina Faso [7] and Togo [8] respectively. Iran and India report female participation of 5% and 10.7% respectively, whereas the participation rises to 33% in Italy and Greece [2].…”

Targeting Females as Voluntary Non Remunerated Donors in Developing Nations

Objectives:To assess the level of female participation in blood donation at a blood bank of a developing nation and compare findings with that of other parts of the world.Background: Safe blood is the foundation of good blood transfusion practice and voluntary non remunerated donors (VNRD) are the cornerstone. There is therefore always a quest for VNRDs, in order to boost the blood transfusion service. Safe blood practice is not optimal in many developing nations mostly for lack of VNRDs. Female donors are also rarely blood donors in this setting. It may therefore be productive to target this group as a source of VNRDs.
