GBF’S ROLE IN A GLOBAL RESPONSE
Global Blood Fund believes that if a patient is in need of a life-saving transfusion, the blood required should be available and should be safe, regardless of location.
GBF’s programs strive to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of ensuring enough safe blood is available worldwide. Discover how you can further our mission.
GBF’S work produces results
GBF’s core focus on enabling volunteer donation has seen the following results.
Donor Management
UNAIDS reports the transfusion transmitted infection (TTI) risk of selected donors is more effective than HIV antigen testing.
Voluntary Donation
WHO figures show an increase of over 10 million blood donations from voluntary unpaid donors in low and middle-income countries.
Donor Selection Programs
With HIV/AIDS being prevalent in South Africa, donor selection programs have reduced HIV in the donor population to less than 0.25%.
The Transition to Sustainable 100% VNRBD
GBF aids in the transition from paid/replacement donation to sustainable 100% Voluntary Non-Remunerated Blood Donation (VNRBD) in the following ways.
GBF is saving the lives of thousands of patients around the world.
The Key to Safe, Sufficient Blood
GBF believes the key to unlocking safe and sufficient supplies of blood is mobilizing volunteer, unpaid donors in every country. The World Health Organization (WHO) also supports promotion of voluntary blood donation as one of the most cost-effective strategies for preventing HIV/AIDS.
Our charity works with blood collection agencies in low and middle-income countries to identify low-risk donor groups within the population. Then we educate, motivate, and recruit from these low-risk populations and provide a positive experience to retain the donors.
“There is much to be done in fostering a sense of community responsibility in terms of blood donation.”
-Honduras Red Cross Blood Program
