ISBT Award for Developing Countries

The ISBT Award for Developing Countries was created out of the vision of Erhard Seifried, ISBT’s past president, during his presidency of ISBT. This award enables Blood Services and/or Centres and individuals from low or medium human development index countries to attend an International Congress of the ISBT, organize an education symposium and/or potential short scholarship to visit a centre of excellence.

Applications for the ISBT Developing Country Award are only open to Blood Services/Centres from Developing Countries or Individuals resident in Developing Countries that work for a Blood Service in the Developing Country. The award will be granted during an International Congress of the ISBT.

The first award will be granted in 2012 during the 32nd International Congress of the ISBT in Cancún, Mexico.
