About Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation
Sanquin was established in 1998 through a merger between the Dutch blood banks and the Central Laboratory of the Netherlands Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (CLB). The Foundation is responsible for blood supply on a not-for-profit basis and promotes transfusion medicine in such a way as to meet the most stringent quality, safety and efficiency requirements.
Sanquin delivers products and services, conducts scientific research and provides education, instruction, in-service training and refresher courses.
On the basis of the Blood Supply Act, Sanquin is the only organization in the Netherlands authorized to manage the demand for blood and blood products. It is also a non-profit-making organization and employs approximately 3,000 workers throughout the Netherlands.
The Sanquin organization is constantly conducting research and developing new and improved blood products. There is also a constant search to replace the approximately 10% of donors who become unavailable due to age, pregnancy, illness or relocation.
At Sanquin, consistent quality and development through improvements therefore go hand in hand.
