Message from AfSBT President
Dear friends and colleagues;
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you who voted for me to be the president of the present term. Without your support and believing in me, I wouldn’t have had this golden chance. I promise all of you to continue the great job that Dora has done, and to be up to your expectations. I intend to work closely with the AfSBT board and office to;
- Realize more educational activities.
- Explore opportunities for accreditation of more blood services in African countries.
- Increase the society’s memberships.
- Networking with many peer organizations.
- Improve and enrich the website.
- Create dynamic interactive communications between members and society.
- Engage more colleagues in these activities.
- Put emphasis on the regulatory aspects in blood transfusion.
- Making PDMPs more available.
- Continue our approach of being a real pan African organization covering Anglo, Franco, and Lusophone countries.
It will be greatly appreciated if the members engage with the AfSBT board and office in supporting our society. Your feedback with new ideas, critical thinking to the content of the website, share in educational events, sending important documents to be shared with other African countries, recruiting new members, etc.
I sincerely thank you and looking forward to a fruitful presidency term.
Faten Moftah
AfSBT President
