This combination provides easy access to three powerhouse references for global audiences: Global Perspectives and Practices in Transfusion Medicine; Global Education, Training, and Staffing in Transfusion Medicine; and Global Transfusion Education: Informatics, Biotherapies, Research, and Ethics. All three books are collaborative projects of the AABB Global Transfusion Forum.

As pandemics can so poignantly highlight, the impacts of global interconnection are undeniable. Moreover, knowledge flows not solely from high- to low-resource settings, as insights from the latter have also proven crucial in medical advances. Global Perspectives and Practices in Transfusion Medicine uses the concepts of contextual impact, interdependence, and transformative learning as foundations for bidirectional benefit. Authors representing more than 25 countries, with more than 75% living and working in low- and middle-income countries, offer authentic perspectives on current local practices from those with contextual expertise, who are often underrepresented in the literature.

The gaps in transfusion medicine education and training affect clinical outcomes and patient survival. One cannot assume that adequate and safe blood transfusion will seamlessly "happen" in health-care delivery unless we pay deliberate attention to how we educate and train health-care professionals, and how we staff our facilities. Global Education, Training, and Staffing in Transfusion Medicine and Global Transfusion Education: Informatics, Biotherapies, Research, and Ethics both take a decisive step in that direction.

Laboratories in low-, middle-, and high-income countries suffer from persistent resource limitations of one kind or another-medical technologists, equipment, work environments, and career structures-all of which ultimately affect the quality and accuracy of test results. Without quality-assured test results, clinicians are compelled to resort to presumptive diagnoses, which can be suboptimal.

The intended audience of these two books are physicians, students, clinical trainees, nurses, medical technologists, transfusion safety officers, phlebotomists, and blood administrators. They should be of particular value to transfusionists around the world who are actively engaged in teaching, as well as for self-directed learners.
