This page is for information related to the African continent specifically.

The situation now:
Africa has one of the lowest Covid-vaccination rates world wide, and is therefore an ideal partner for us. Designated blood donations as well as autologous donations (donation of your own blood for yourself) are possible throughout the African hospitals. Often hospitals even ask you to bring your own blood donor. So we mainly have to make sure this does not change like it did in many places around the world during the “pandemic”.

What WE do:
Our acting plans:
We are in the process of setting up a team for Africa and each state, which will establish the most feasible way to reach our goal, the free choice of blood (and blood donor). For the local population this is not a big issue, as they are used to it. For Europeans however, this is different, as Africa is the closest destination for them to get a surgery done with the free choice of blood donor. Therefore we will establish a medical tourism to Africa, until we have reached our goals also in Europe.
We have already approached several hospitals in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania, but the response was very little, as most clinics hardly use emails. We will have to do this again, but this time from our local teams. The goal is for you being able to choose a clinic which guarantees you an annoyance free stay there. In addition to this, most importantly, we are trying to reduce the need for transfusions in general with clear advises for medical staff in our membersโ€˜ living will.
We will write again to all major clinics in Africa regarding their policies with unvaccinated patients, and will publish the results in our member area (under “Medical partner search“).
For the french speaking states, our website is now also in french, and for the portuguese speaking ones, in portuguese.
A telegram channel for easy information is complementing this page here.
You can search for a donor in the member area under “Search for blood donor“. Please don’t write me an email “is there a blood donor with AB+ in Nairobi?” – you find the answer yourself under the mentioned link.

What YOU can do:

If you want to join us and help within the team, please contact us.
Spread the word, and most importantly, become a member โ€“ because only together we are strong.

Please note that there are NO blood donation stations set up yet, nowhere in the Africa, which are a partner of SafeBlood, as we need to establish a relationship for this purpose first. This will take some time. Check back here frequently and subscribe to our newsletter (under “Contact”).

One question we often hear is “How much do you pay for my blood?
We are an NGO and the reward for your blood donation is to know that you will also get uncontaminated blood once you will need it. So no, we don’t pay – we are “members taking care of members”, a community aware of a huge threat to our health – we are not “blood dealers”. We can and will never make a business with your blood. So the label “SafeBlood” will be a brand you can trust. Other private labs will buy your blood – and sell it to the cosmetic and rejuvenation industry. If you don’t mind, sell your blood there. If you want to save lives, stick to us.

Updates and NEWS:

Last remark: You want to know whether we have a matching blood donor in your area? become a member and search for it here. As a member you are able to search by blood group AND location.
