Transfusion medicine
The French model
Founded on 1 January 2000 and placed under the authority of the Ministry
of Health, the French Blood Establishment (EFS) is the sole public provider
of national blood transfusion services in France. ISO 9001: 2008 certified
and formed by seventeen régional establishments, the EFS manages the
activities of collection, preparation, testing and distribution of labile blood
products. Its role in maintaining the country's self-sufficiency in labile
blood products, whilst meeting the highest quality and safety standards,
makes it a major contributor to public health in France.
Three major features set French transfusion medicine apart from other
international models :
Through the EFS, the French State is therefore responsible for self-
sufficiency, health safety and the efficient management of the rare and
precious commodity that is human blood. The French model is one of the
few to provide both « ethical blood donation » and internationally recognized
efficiency.
