  7. International Development of TransfusionMedicine • EBA focuses on (improvement in) Europe. • Flying squads to support countries that need to improve efficiency • In several EBA countries you find cooperation programs implemented in countries outside Europe (eg Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, UK – the list is not comprehensive). • Development of Training programs The EU co-sponsored projectEuBIS (EU-Blood Inspection System)led by the German Red Cross Hessen and promoted by EBA should be considered a training program which could overcome the boundaries of EU countries. The main outcome from EuBIS was a good practice manual for the inspection of blood establishments in Europe (www.eubis-europe.eu). Currently the manual and training guide have been disseminated to more than 530 institutions from 70 countries, in Europe and worldwide. EUBIS has also developed training material and courses for CAs and BEs in implementing the Directives’ requirements

  8. International Development of TransfusionMedicine • Existing knowledge of training programs developed for the EU environment may be universally useful • Developing programs for improving transfusion chain and medicine is and will remain based on individual countries’ initiative. • Countries individually active could be consulted about sharing knowledge and experience and possible cooperation in future programs, and they would respond individually.

  9. Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation Sanquin is the Dutch Blood Establishment Sanquin is only organization licensedfor supplying blood in The Netherlands on a not-for-profit basis The hundreds of thousands of voluntary donors who give blood are the heart of the organization Core activity: producing and supplying blood and plasma products for treating patients – safely and efficiently Sanquin has activities in the field of International Blood Safety organized in a Consulting Services department. | 9
