This page contains information specific to Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The current situation:
Swiss hospitals generally do not perform directed blood donations. Consequently, we cannot currently facilitate blood donations; establishing blood banks is not viable until the donated blood can actually be utilized. Furthermore, mediation services are currently only available outside of Europe, with the exception of Italy. At present, there is no free choice of donor blood in Switzerland. We are actively working to change this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What WE are doing:
<\/strong>Our action plan:<\/em>
We are seeking the most viable path to achieve our goal: the free choice of blood (and blood donors). To this end, we are contacting potential medical partners (hospitals, laboratory chains, private practices, etc.) and primarily aim to reduce the general need for blood transfusions by providing clear instructions to medical staff through our members’ advance directives.
If we cannot find suitable partners, we may need to establish an international network of blood donation and storage centers (blood banks). However, this is particularly challenging to realize within Switzerland due to the Red Cross’s monopoly position.
This website is also available in French<\/a> and Italian<\/a> to better serve the Romandie and Ticino regions.<\/p>\n
