Placed on the theme "Accelerating the deployment of the CNTS at the decentralized level with a view to intensifying mobilization in favor of ethical blood donation", the opening work on Tuesday March 12, 2024 was chaired by the Director General, Professor Dora Mbaya .
For four days, it will be a question of taking stock of the activities of the CNTS for the year 2023 with a view to developing an effective roadmap which will unveil the operational work plan for 2024. In an educational manner, the work in plenary will allow groups of presentations, work in workshops which will make it possible to develop the operational work plan and update the contributions of the CNYS for the national blood transfusion policy and the national strategic plan.
Reaction
Pr Dora Mbaya, general director of the CNTS
“We need 400 thousand blood bags per year yet we are only at 35% of the needs collected, the needs are still enormous. We must always encourage people to get up and donate blood freely and without expecting any remuneration. The tendency is that we see people being embarrassed when it is a relative outside of it. Donors are needed so that the situation at the hospital level is filled. When one is in need, one can only receive someone's blood because no science has been able to manufacture blood in a laboratory.
You know, we are in a phase of all-out awareness raising, that is what we are trying to do, educate the population and that is where the media intervene by making their contributions in the fight against prejudice. We use all possible strategies, in universities, churches or mosques and as you know at the slightest opportunity, we do it constantly and an international day is dedicated to the donor, June 14. Raising awareness remains our permanent action, recently we were at the Vita course, a few days ago we were at Promote without forgetting the flyers that we distribute when the opportunity arises.
