Providing the best products would be inconceivable in the absence of loyal, reliable donors, and this applies to the blood supply as well. Donation should be a pleasant and simple process for them. For this reason, we are investing in a variety of digital services relating to blood donation, to boost its appeal, including for young, new donor groups.

Our activities in the blood supply area are funded by the sale of blood products to hospitals; no federal funding is provided for these services. In 2020, the consultation procedure on draft legislation declaring the supply of blood to the population a task of the Confederation will begin, the result of a 2018 parliamentary initiative. Our services in the area of blood stem cells are already the subject of a mandate from the Confederation; however, we must raise the funds to pay for the registry’s growth on our own. We have therefore launched a “supporter” programme to create sustainable revenue to finance registrations.
