What is Canadian Blood Services and what does it do?
Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit, charitable organization dedicated to giving Canadians a safe and secure blood supply system they can trust without reservation. Canadian Blood Services owns and operates all aspects of the blood supply system. It recruits blood donors, collects blood, and processes it into the components and products that are administered to countless Canadians each year. It also oversees scientific investigations to make sure Canada is on the international forefront of blood safety research. And finally, Canadian Blood Services helps to educate health professionals and the public to ensure the Canadian blood supply is used wisely.
