Abstract

Universal access to blood transfusions depends on a number of localized factors both inside and outside health services. Motivated by being an infrequent topic, this work aims to analyze from a multidimensional and holistic perspective the external determinants of the availability of blood for transfusions. Socio-economic development is an important dynamic factor because it conditions, in a certain way, the infrastructure of the health system and affects epidemiological, sociodemographic and legal factors. In turn, these influence the organization of activities and the complexity of health care, factors that give a positive or negative meaning to the availability of blood. Taking them into consideration when designing health policies related to the use of blood allows greater precision in local interventions that contribute to improving the safety of transfusions.
