iciHaiti - Health : Inadequate blood donors in the country
As part of Monday's Press, Dr. Ernst Noël Director of the National Program of Transfusion Safety (PNST) at the Ministry of Public Health, accompanied by Dr. Régine Moïse Nérette, technical consultant to the PNST, recalled that the mission of the PNST since 2004, is to apply the Ministry's policy on Transfusion Safety, to guarantee the population of quality blood and blood products at the right moment and to coordinate the action of the various operational partners (Haitian Red Cross and Gheskio Centers) in order to achieve the objectives set.

Apart from the task of ensuring an adequate supply of blood and blood products to meet the needs of the population and to regulate the transfusion system, the PNST se itself for objective, among other things, to increase voluntary and voluntary blood donations to 100% and reduce to 0% the rate of Transfusion-Transmissible Infections (ITT).

Dr. Ernst Noël also spoke of the difficulties encountered in effectively fulfilling his mission, especially during this summer period, when traffic accidents are increasing on our national roads https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-25182-haiti-news-zapping.html . He pointed out the low rate of voluntary donations (20% to 30%), the low rate of repeated donations and the decrease in the number of sensitisations and mobile collections stating "For the first quarter of 2018, for a request of 25,199 pockets of blood, only 12,313 validated blood packets were collected (or 51.79% of the needs met) from 19,294 donors "calling on potential donors to make regular donations.

"The objective of the PNTS [which has 35 blood access sites] for the next 6 months, is 30,000 pockets for as many requests," said Régine Moïse Nérette, announcing that the PNST wants to strengthen and improve its infrastructure by the construction of three National Blood Transfusion Centers in North, South and Center."
