Addressing Blood Shortage Crisis in Busoga

18 Jan 2025 18:04

In June 2023, the available blood supplies in Ugandareached 313,659 units, accounting for only 70% of the requiredamount. Urgent action is needed to bridge the 30% gap, as lives are at risk due to insufficient blood for transfusions, according to the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS). Over the years, Uganda Blood Transfusion Services (UBTS) and Uganda Red Cross Society have made innovative strategies to boost blood mobilization, making a rise from 120,098 units in 2018/2019 to 180,726 units in 2022/2023, contributing significantly to the annual blood collections.
