Abstract
Safe and effective blood donation is a vital component in improving health care delivery for preventing the spread of blood borne diseases worldwide. According to World Health Organization (WHO), at least 1% of the nation’s population should donate blood voluntarily to meet the basic requirement for blood and blood products. Blood scarcity is frequently encountered in health care settings and is attributable to an imbalance between increasing demand for safe blood in one hand and failure to organize regular blood supply due to misconceptions, perceived harms and risks, lack of motivation among donors.
