Malarial risk-reduction strategies
There are two main aspects to bear in mind when considering
malaria risk and transfusion: first, the malaria risk associated
with any individual donor; and, second, the ability of the
systems to identify and manage the donor and any donation.
It is here that there are fundamentally different approaches
taken by different blood transfusion services: differences in the
overall approaches taken between endemic and non-endemic
countries; and differences in the approaches taken between
individual non-endemic countries.
