Donors and patients

Our blood collection personnel is active throughout the country, collecting blood samples from donors. Blood donor physicians and blood collection personnel work together at collection sites to support donors, ensuring a safe donation process and a non-disruptive experience. Sanquin's transfusion physicians work with hospitals, pharmacists, and other specialists, and provide advice regarding matching donor blood in order to help the patient as much as possible. All in all, a complex puzzle that requires your medical knowledge.
