Blood demand and utilization among pregnant and postpartum women with and without HIV infections at the university teaching Hospital, Zambia

However, findings suggest that continued investments in hemovigilance and appropriate blood use within the clinical setting could improve rational blood use in low-resource settings and maternal outcomes.
