Aspiration

Move blood products in the value chain in a timely, effective and efficient manner.

Strategic Priorities
  • Ensure 100% of critical consumables are available to support the value chain 100% of the time
  • Investigate and implement the state of art design for mobile donor centres
  • Optimise process cost efficiency for delivery of blood products
FY2021 Highlights

During the 2018 financial year 784 389 red cell concentrates (adjusted for paediatrics) were issued. During the 2019 financial year, this increased by more than 84 000 units to 869 156, or an increase of 10.81%. This increase is as result of an increased demand as well as the fact that there were no cutbacks during 2019.

Unfortunately, the demand for blood dropped during the 2020 financial year to almost the same levels as in 2018. A total of 784 886 units were issued, representing a drop of 9.70%, compared to the previous year.
