Resource Shortage and Blood Scarcity: Challenges at the National Blood Transfusion Center
All sectors of public health in Haiti are encountering challenges in fulfilling their objectives due to insufficient resources. The National Blood Transfusion Center, an integral component of the national transfusion safety program, cannot be considered a haven amidst scarcity, as it operates in line with the prevailing circumstances in the country. At present, the CNTS is only able to meet 55% of the population's blood requirements, as stated by Dr. Ernst Noël, the director of the institution, during an interview on Panel Magik (on Magik 9) on Thursday, August 3, 2023.
