ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008

From COP08:

The GOB has been procuring reagents for the blood transfusion project. The program experiences delays in

delivery of reagents and basic supplies leading to difficulties in smooth operations and provision of blood.

In FY2008, SCMS will assist the NBTS in the procurement of the following reagents/ commodities: HIV test

reagents, HBV surface antigen reagent, HCV reagents, blood grouping reagents, syphilis testing reagents,

collecting tubes, pipette tits and pipettes, blood labels for units and products as well as blood bags. Testing
