Dr Mercy Korir 25th Feb 2020 00:00:00 GMT +0300 The state of blood transfusion services in Kenya has hit the red line. The once regular heart beat that supplied blood to all Kenyans in need is nearly a flat line, as the cash veins run dry at the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services (KNBTS) unit of the Ministry of Health. So dire is the situation that the unit has run out of reagents to test donated blood for such deadly infections as HIV, hepatitis B and C and syphilis.
