The collaboration, which draws expertise from Rwanda’s blood service model, aims to enhance the collection, storage, and distribution of blood, particularly in remote and underserved areas. The innovative approach will ensure that hospitals and health centers receive timely blood supplies, reducing delays that often result in loss of lives.
Speaking on the initiative, the Director General of NBSA, Prof. Saleh Yuguda, described the partnership as a groundbreaking step toward improving Nigeria’s healthcare system. He emphasized his commitment to ensuring the success of the project, calling it both a “life-saver and time-saver.”
