Access to safe blood and blood products is recognized as one of the key requirements for delivery of modern health care in the journey towards health for all. The foundation of safe and sustainable blood supplies depends on the collection of blood from voluntary non-remunerated and low-risk donors. ...Data from the WHO Global Database for Blood Safety (GDBS) brings out several inadequacies related to the supply and safety of blood and blood products. These inadequacies include a number of variations in safe blood practices across the world, including the quantity of blood donated (voluntary and replacement types), quality and adequate testing of the donated blood (immunohaematology [IH] and transfusion-transmitted infections [TTIs]), rational use of blood and blood components such as appropriate patient blood management protocols. These variations are very high in countries of the South-East Asian Region and most of them are either low- or middle-income countries (LMICs).

d’unir leurs forces et de redoubler d’efforts, afin qu’ensemble, la mise en œuvre efficace du cadre politique continental, y compris l’accès universel à la santé sexuelle et reproductive d’ici 2015, dans tous les
pays d’Afrique puisse être réalisée. Le Plan d’action révisé de Maputo (MPoA) 2016-2030 a ensuite été
approuvé par les chefs d’État de l’Union africaine lors du 27e sommet de l’UA en juillet 2016 à Kigali,
