Meer over het boek

The book delves into the critical issue of blood transfusion safety in Kinshasa, highlighting the lack of awareness about blood groups among the population. It posits that knowledge of one's blood type can significantly reduce the risks associated with transfusions, particularly in emergencies. The research emphasizes the importance of understanding the ABO blood group system, inspired by Landsteiner's discoveries regarding blood antigens and antibodies. Ultimately, the work aims to promote blood group awareness as a preventive measure against transfusion-related complications and haemolytic disease.
