David Saikin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Try and obtain a copy of the AABB Technical Manual. It is published by the American Association of Blood Banks. It will be a great reference for your blood banking needs. There is a great deal involved in developing a blood bank (donor and/or transfusion service) . . . I really can't tell you where to start. Especially since I am unaware of what your country has for policies regarding blood or what you are starting from. Good luck. You may contact me for particulars if and when you need to.dsaikin@littletonhospital.org Edited February 11, 2009 by David Saikin spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Freq Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Dear Hieu:How very exciting! What a wonderful and exciting venture you have undertaken. I often reviewed ads for "volunteer vacations" and thought many times about visiting Vietnam to work for a while. I have my SBB certification in addition to an MBA, and have worked many years in the blood services/collection industry, many of which were in the American Red Cross and some in private blood centers. I did my thesis on "The Stability of Factor VIII in Thawed Cryoprecipitate: Room Temperature versus 4 -8 degrees Centigrade". I would love to be of assistance to you in any way that I can. I've spent many years writing policies and procedures, training phlebotomists in the donor room, preparing for FDA inspections (maybe something you would want to design your collection/processing/storage around, but hopefully you won't have to deal with the equivalent of the FDA!) as well as training medical technologists on the infectious disease testing of blood and blood products. I would love to be of any assistance to you. I will give you my personal email if you would like and we can correspond. Just let me know. Wishing you all the best, Hi-Feq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Freq Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Not a problem. I understand somethings just get lost in translation. Hopefully I can help with forms and such. As someone above mentioned, the AABB Technical Manual and Standards would be the place to start. You're doing a great thing for your country.
