Faculty: Medical Sciences
In Uganda the demand of blood by hospitals outstrips its supply.

National data on clinical use of blood are limited, but the baseline observations at the inception of this thesis identified issues like unnecessary transfusions, unsafe transfusion practices and errors (particularly at the patient’s bedside).
