Stéphane Laurent: Why the Relationship Between AfSBT and ISBT Matters in Blood Management
Stéphane Laurent, International Sales Director at INLOG, Consultant -Advisor at ADEN Developpement-Consulting Healthcare, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The future of blood management depends on strong regional leadership connected to global scientific excellence.
This is exactly why the relationship between Africa Society for Blood Transfusion (AfSBT) and International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) matters so much.
Across Africa, AfSBT plays a critical role in supporting the development of safer, more accessible and more sustainable national blood programmes.
At the global level, ISBT provides the scientific backbone of transfusion medicine by bringing together experts, advancing education, promoting best practices, and helping shape the standards that strengthen transfusion safety world wide.
Together, they create a powerful bridge between regional realities and global progress.
In a context where quality, traceability, haemovigilance, donor safety, patient safety and system efficiency are more important than ever, this alignment is not just valuable — it is essential.
At INLOG, we fully recognize the importance of this collective dynamic.
Digital transformation, operational excellence and regulatory robustness are now central to the modernization of blood services worldwide.
Through solutions designed for blood banks, transfusion services and healthcare institutions, we are committed to supporting this evolution with technologies that reinforce safety, traceability, quality management and performance.
The challenge is global. The response must be collaborative.
And the role of ISBT, alongside regional bodies such as AfSBT, is truly crucial to shaping the future of transfusion medicine.”
