LED by practicing blood banking professionals

Our experience from years of working in countries around the world has shown us that supporting voluntary, non-remunerated donation is the most effective and cost-efficient intervention.

 

Global Blood Fund has facilitated such efforts as establishing rural blood banks and supplying bloodmobiles to improve donor access and operational efficiency.

 

We also have resourced collectors by providing items such as donation couches, portable beds and recognition gifts to enhance comfort and encourage donors to return.
