Geographic distribution of blood collections in Haiti before and after the 2010 earthquake

ConclusionHaiti's National Blood Safety Program managed a rapid expansion of collections outside of Port‐au‐Prince following the earthquake. Annual collections exceeded pre‐earthquake levels by 2012 and continued rising annually. Increased regional collections provided a greater share of the national blood supply, reducing dependence on Port‐au‐Prince for collections.
