Welcome Address/Introduction:
Welcome to the Department of Haematology and Blood Transfusion.
This department is dedicated mainly to the training of medical students and some allied health sciences students including Medical Laboratory Science.
Haematological diseases are common in our environment and these include Sickle Cell diseases (HbSS, HbSC), the Acute and Chronic leukamias and the Lymphomas. As a result it is an implicit component of the subjects the medical student must be conversant with in pathology (Faculty of basic Clinical Sciences)
The department is also involved in medical research with other disciplines and sister institutions.
We are also involved in organizing yearly blood drives to mark the world blood donation day.
So also dissemination of information to increase awareness of sickle cell disease is a priority for us and this is carried out every year by outreaches to the general population. Issues concerning HIV/AIDs are also disseminated to the public through the media (radio) on the 1st of December every year (Worlds AIDS Day).
