NCT06142825 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Blood Transfusion


Developing, Implementing and Evaluating Effective Community-facility Interactions to Improve Blood Availability and Transfusion in Three Distinct County Settings in Kenya
Sponsor:

University of Minnesota

Brief Summary:

The strategy of the CoBAnK study is to establish and enable the function of Community-Facility Transfusion Committees (CFTCs) incorporating diverse representation involving hospital, community, and county leadership, to improve blood availability and transfusion at the point-of-care.

Condition or disease

Blood Transfusion

Intervention/treatment

Community-Facility Transfusion Committee (CFTC)

Phase

NA

Detailed Description:

The strategy of the CoBAnK study is to establish and enable the function of Community-Facility Transfusion Committees (CFTCs) incorporating diverse representation involving hospital, community, and county leadership, to improve blood availability and transfusion at the point-of-care. The CFTC strategy will be evaluated across nine transfusing facilities across three counties in Kenya (two intervention and one control site in each county). While the intervention will be tested in "beta" facilities (i.e., facilities without a co-located blood bank) in each county, blood availability will also be measured in "alpha" facilities (i.e., facilities with co-located blood banks) in the three counties, which supply blood to the beta facilities.
