According to Kavulavu et al. (2022) in their research article "Challenges facing blood transfusion services at a regional blood transfusion center in Western Kenya", they identified understaffing, insufficient funding, limited equipment, frequent reagent outages, and discards of unsuitable blood, resulting in very high deficits as main challenges experienced by ERBTC. With this, they recommend recruiting more voluntary donors to address the occurring problems in the blood bank. Thus, my question lies in the current shortage of blood donors and identifying the barriers that hinder them to donate and contribute to the blood bank operations.
