Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Understanding patterns in blood availability is key to identifying appropriate interventions to increase blood access, particularly interventions intended for use in blood deserts, defined as areas in which >75% of blood needs are unmet. Blood availability patterns are particularly difficult to understand in the decentralized systems made up primarily of hospital-based blood banks, which are common in low- and middle-income countries. In Liberia, >95% of blood is collected at decentralized hospital-based blood banks.
