Add to Preferred SourcesThe Asian Development Bank is helping Mongolia improve the safety of patients and health workers in hospitals, focusing on the safety of blood products, also known as hemovigilance.
Under the $30 million project, new technologies and protocols have been introduced. These included the launch of a national blood transfusion center and its 21 branch blood banks nationwide, as well as the renovation and deployment of equipment for hospital sterilization and microbiology laboratories to prevent and control hospital-acquired infections.
The initiative led to a three-fold increase in blood products in the national blood transfusion center, while at a national level the increase was five-fold.
