This report summarizes presentations and major conclusions. The meeting explored ways to increase access to affordable, safe blood for low\u2010 and lower\u2010middle\u2010income countries (LMICs) in an era when funding from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund has been redirected from preventing the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to diagnosing and treating the 25 million\u2010plus people living with HIV in LMICs. More effective management systems must be developed to improve cost recovery for blood. While blood systems become more sustainable, continued investment is required to keep them operating. The traditional model of large grants from bilateral and multilateral donors will need to be supplemented (or replaced) with public\u2010private partnerships and nongovernmental investment. A continued emphasis on quality is fundamental. Blood systems must build quality programs, based on accepted standards, including hospitals, clinics, and rural health care providers to ensure proper and safe use of blood. Proposals to resolve health care inequities between LMICs and high\u2010income countries (HICs) must include helping LMICs to define sustainable national policies and practices for blood availability and utilization to suit local contexts. The blood safety lexicon should be revised to include availability, accessibility, and affordability of safe blood and blood products as the goal of all blood safety initiatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.14591","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]],"date-time":"2018-03-15T12:29:34Z","timestamp":1521116974000},"page":"1299-1306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Report of a workshop on ensuring sustainable access to safe blood in developing countries: International Blood Safety Forum, March 24, 2017"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Louis M.","family":"Katz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"America's Blood Centers Washington DC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Healing Berkeley California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher J.","family":"Gresens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BloodSource Sacramento California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerry A.","family":"Holmberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grifols Diagnostic Solutions Washington DC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"MacPherson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Healing Berkeley California"},{"name":"MacPherson Strategies LLC Ann Arbor Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter J.K.","family":"Zacharias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Safe Blood for Africa Foundation Sandton South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean","family":"Stanley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American International Health Alliance"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Bales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Association of Blood Banks, Division of Consulting and Global Services Washington DC."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"The Kaiser Family Foundation.
