Since 1967, the lives of countless babies have been saved by the pioneering Rh Program - and to date, over three million doses of anti-D have been given to Rh negative women.
The program provides plasma collected from blood donors with anti-D for production of anti-D immunoglobulin for treatment of RhD negative women with babies at risk of haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN).
We're celebrating this 50-year milestone with two presentations commemorating the program and looking at the prevention of Rh HDFN - and you can find these presentations along with a back catalogue of all of our webinars at Transfusion Online Learning.

The National Blood Authority (NBA) has directed the Blood Service to move to this standard in order to meet international benchmarking standards for product identification.
