Kenyan blood donors encouraged to learn HIV status
Blood donation drives held in Kenya in recent weeks to meet the need created by post-election violence have highlighted the shortage of regular blood donors and the problem this creates in public healthcare, say officials from the national blood transfusion service.
"We realise people have a lack of confidence in their health status that generates the fear to donate blood," said Stranslaus Onyango, assistant programme officer at Hope Worldwide Kenya, an international faith-based organisation, which partners with the Ministry of Health in mobilising blood donations.
