Description
This mentorship-based CME aims to enhance participants’ understanding and practical application of haemovigilance — the systematic monitoring, reporting, and prevention of adverse transfusion events across the entire blood transfusion chain. The session emphasizes the role of healthcare workers in detecting, documenting, and analyzing transfusion reactions and near-miss events to improve patient safety and transfusion outcomes. Through interactive mentorship, participants will gain skills in establishing and operating haemovigilance systems at both facility and national levels, conducting root-cause analysis, implementing corrective and preventive actions, and using haemovigilance data for quality improvement and policy development in blood services.
