Our History and FUTURE
The European Blood Alliance (EBA) is an association of not-for-profit Blood Establishments, with 30 members (including observers) throughout the European Union, EFTA States, and the United Kingdom. EBA has spearheaded many European projects in the domain of blood and plasma collection and usage. EBA are tasked with the ongoing dissemination of SUPPLY project reports and related news beyond the end of the project.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
The European Blood Alliance’s main mission is contributing to the availability, quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of the blood supply for all the citizens of Europe by developing and maintaining an efficient and strong collaboration amongst European blood services.
EBA are also striving to increase public and professional awareness of voluntary and unpaid donation (VUD) of blood and blood components, and of preparation of blood components as an indispensable therapeutic means to help patients.
We are also trying to assist European blood establishments to continuously improve their performance, based on scientific and ethical principles for the benefit of patients.
EBA assists members improve performance through collaboration, engagement in regulatory affairs to promote best practices, and facilitating information collection and knowledge exchange.
