Review Of the Collection and Procedures for Screening the Blood of Afghanistan National Army Personnel
Abstract
In March 2016, SIGAR received information expressing concerns that blood types collected from Afghan National Army (ANA) recruits were not being recorded correctly in the Afghan Human Resource Information System (AHRIMS), the Afghan National Defense Forces personnel database that includes personally identifiable information, including medical data, on soldiers and civil workers. The information we received raised suspicions that the service provider used by the ANA to collect and test blood from soldiers, as required by Afghan policy, was charging the recruits to collect their blood but not conducting valid blood type testing or recording accurate blood types in AHRIMS. The source also expressed concern that ANA soldier blood type records in AHRIMS may be inaccurate because it appeared that a suspiciously large number of soldiers were reported to have the same blood type.
