About Damu-Sasa
Damu-Sasa is an innovative end-to-end blood services information management system. It supports blood sourcing, inventory management, transfusion management and even haemovigilance. Damu-Sasa came through the Presidential Digital Talent Programme (PDTP) where it grew in both vision and mission. Damu-Sasa is cloud-based thus presenting users in the blood services value-chain with the unique opportunity to collectively coordinate associated activities. The data it provides enhances decision-making, thereby resulting in effective management of blood services. This in turn leads to reduced costs in the provision of healthcare.
