"Thanks to its booth located right on the ‘bridge’, a very busy area of the ICC, the ISBT Congress in Berlin has proved to be a most successful event for the INTS. It has indeed allowed us to display all our activities, renewing already existing contacts throughout France and Europe, and raising an interest in far-away visitors from the Middle-East, Latin America, Africa, etc … 
Due to this strong unexpected world-over visitors’ interest, specifically in our services offer in education and training, continuous improvement and quality policy implementation, blood group sample testing and audits, we are aware that it is time for us to prepare and open up to the world!"

ATMC8 (The 8th Transfusion Medicine Course for Arabic-speaking countries)

Hilton Dream Hotel, Cairo, Egypt,  1 – 4 December, 2010

"Such countries have incomplete knowledge about immuno-haematology, blood groups, rare blood donors and traceability in HV (Haemovigilance). Saudi Arabia and UAE have just started implementing the AHN (Arab Haemovigilance Network) website for a few cases which makes it insufficient for them to validate the system. Therefore the INTS is looking forward to contributing in the European training coverage of the Arabic-speaking countries in such fields."

Slideshow presentation, with a special interest from Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Yemen.
