DESCRIPTION
Blood donors in some African countries are not routinely notified of positive screening test results because of practical, cultural and financial considerations. This program is intended to provide a forum around these current donor notification practices. During the session, session attendees will be encouraged to participate in discussions to generate creative solutions to the practical, cultural and resource barriers faced by these countries.
