Peru

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Systems Strengthening
  • Blood Transfusion Services

Context:

  • Pre-1990s: Peru faced critical issues in blood banking, including lack of regulation, high maternal mortality, low voluntary donation rates, and transfusion-related infections.
  • Significant challenges included disorganization, inadequate supervision, absence of training, and prevalent blood sales.

Purpose:

  • To describe the transformation of Peru's National Blood Banking Program.
  • To detail the implementation of a strategic plan to overcome systemic blood banking challenges.

Summary:

  • A strategic plan led to legal reforms, increasing voluntary donations to 19.5% and improving blood safety via mandatory infectious disease screening.
  • Blood availability doubled to meet 70% of demand, reducing sales and increasing component use to 80%.

Related Experiment Videos

  • National oversight of all blood banks was achieved, alongside a national registry, centralized screening, and mandatory quality control.

    • Impact:

    • Improved blood availability and safety, reduced transfusion risks, and increased community engagement in blood donation.
    • Established a foundation for a robust national blood banking system, though ongoing vigilance is required to maintain progress.
