iciHaiti - Health : Blood transfusion, an essential link in medical care
As part of World Blood Donor Day (June 14), Dr. Bertrand Sinal, Minister of Public Health, reiterated that blood transfusion is an essential link in the medical care of patients.

Despite the challenges related to the socio-political context, 25,130 donors came forward in 2025, allowing for the collection of 18,083 bags. However, 81% of these donations came from replacement donors, compared to only 19% from voluntary donors. Of the 32,471 requests received (including 30,452 for adults and 2,019 for children), 8% of the bags had to be rejected due to positive infectious markers, and only 58.92% of the needs could be met, not including unexpressed needs.

On behalf of all beneficiary patients, the Ministry of Health would like to thank :

• Blood donors, whose selfless gesture saved lives and should continue to inspire others;
• Donor associations and partner institutions, who facilitated the organization of mobile blood drives;
• The staff of the Blood Banks, Blood Transfusion Stations, and the National Blood Transfusion Center for their unwavering dedication and commitment;
• The technical and financial partners, whose support enabled the National Blood Safety Program (PNST) to accomplish its mission despite the challenges.

The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to ensuring a safe blood supply and calls on every citizen to join the ranks of voluntary donors by participating in the ongoing national campaign.

Happy World Blood Donor Day !
