Education in blood transfusion: Adequacy of the content in the Kenyan undergraduate curricula and medical doctor's perspectives and perceptions.

Background: Although blood transfusion (BT) service is important in modern health care, blood is scarce, costly, and without risks. Medical education should therefore play a role in equipping medical doctors with the necessary BT knowledge, skills, and attitudes for optimal utilization of blood. This study aimed at determining the adequacy of curriculum content of Kenyan medical schools and the clinicians' perceptions of undergraduate education in BT.
