Knowledge on maternal health benefit of donated blood & blood donation.

      Аннотация: The main reason for writing this book was due to evidence we have read from Saharan Africa countries which shows that maternal death due to hemorrhage was significantly (26%) due to lack of blood for transfusion. This is attributed to low number of blood donors. Even though blood transfusion is considered to be one of the essential component of comprehensive emergency obstetric care, it is highly dependent on availability of blood. So, the study is aimed to magnify how much blood availability is important in obstetric care by showing the the knowledge status of university students concerning benefits of blood for maternal care and how it is associated with their blood donation practice.
