This article focuses on all blood transfusion centres in Kenya. Established in August 2022 as a successor to the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service, the Kenya Tissue and Transplant Authority (KTTA) is mandated to collect, test, process and distribute blood and blood products to all transfusing hospitals in Kenya.
According to the authority, seven people in Kenya require a blood transfusion every 10 minutes. The country suffers a shortage of blood supply, with only 16% of the blood needed in the country collected.
