      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      A book as broad in scope as this has only been possible thanks to extraordinary support and assistance from many people and organizations. This includes a grant from the Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship Program (no. P019A050018), a visiting researcher award at the Brocher Foundation (Geneva), sabbatical leave from the School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, and support from the Baker-Ort Chair in International Healthcare Philanthropy at the Indiana University School of Philanthropy at IUPUI.

      Among the personnel at blood banks and transfusion services who opened their records and agreed to be interviewed were Jack Nyamongo (Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service), O. W. Mwanda (Nairobi University Medical School), Peter Kataaha, Paul Senyonga, and John Watson-Williams (Uganda Blood Transfusion Services), Esau Nzaro and Aisu Steven (Mulago Hospital Blood Bank), Lamine Diakhaté and Saliou Diop (Centre national de transfusion sanguine, Senegal), Dora Mbanya (Centre hospitalier et universitaire, University of Yaoundé Faculty of Medicine), Juhani Leikola (Finnish Red Cross), Evelyn von Steffen (formerly of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Geneva), and Myriam Malengreau (Université catholique de Louvain).

      There are numerous archives and libraries around the world whose collections were invaluable for this book. They were graciously made available to me by many people with a great deal of patience. They include Helen Pugh and Emily Oldfield (British Red Cross Museum and Archives), Dirk Schoonbaert (Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp), Luc de Munck (Flemish section of the Belgian Red Cross), Pierre Dandoy (Archives africaines, Service publique fédéral Affaires étrangères, Brussels), Stéphane Kraxner (Institut Pasteur, Paris), Aline Pueyo (Institute of Tropical Medicine, Marseille), Margrit Schenker (Swiss Red Cross), Grant Mitchell (IFRC), Sophie Chapuis (International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, Geneva), Tomas Allen (WHO Library, Geneva), and Maria G. N. Musoke (Makerere University Medical Library, Kampala).
