Supporting the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in the Implementation and Expansion of Blood Safety Activities in the Republic of Kenya under the Presidents Emergency plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): The purpose of this announcement is to support the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in the provision of a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products to health facilities in Kenya. In particular, the funding will support activities to improve blood donations from regular voluntary non-remunerated donors (VNRD); to ensure safety through a centralized testing system by the National Blood Transfusion Services; and to promote appropriate use of blood and blood components. It will also link with other HIV prevention activities through integration of prevention education in donor recruitment and in notification of donor test results with appropriate referral to care and treatment. The NBTS will also support, coordinate and guide the activities of all other partners involved in mobilization and retention of volunteer blood donors.
