Challenges and Improvement Strategies in Blood Donation in Cyprus
November 5, 2026
Cyprus faces serious issues in its blood donation system, despite being the highest consumer of blood in Europe. Many potential donors are being rejected, and successful blood donations have decreased. The National Blood Strategy 2026-2030 highlights these weaknesses and proposes solutions such as the use of artificial intelligence and cross-border agreements. The aim is to improve inventory management and increase safety. The strategy also includes measures for better utilization of available blood units.
