At the sidelines of The United Nations General Assembly in New York (September 2019), there was a consensus on the need for a continent-wide platform. This platform aims to mobilize and unite key stakeholders to collectively address challenges related to blood and blood product issues in Africa.

Based on this consensus, the Coalition Of Blood For Africa (CoBA) was conceived and formally established on November 10, 2020. CoBA is a distinctive organization actively working to promote unified approaches, ensuring access to safe, sustainable, and sufficient blood for Africa.

This collaborative platform brings together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, research, academia, media, non-profits, civil society, and others. All are dedicated to championing the crucial cause of ensuring sustainable access to safe blood in Africa. Together, we aim to save lives and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of communities across the continent.
