DONOR REFERRALS Health professionals recommend donors to Héma-Québec. CONSENT A verification of the consent registries is made. Whether consent is registered or not, it is important for the donor to inform his or her loved ones if he or she consents to the donation of human tissues, since they will be the ones who will speak on his or her behalf at the time of his or her death. QUALIFICATION Héma-Québec conducts a thorough evaluation to verify the donor s eligibility. HUMAN TISSUES

19 CHALLENGE OF DIVERSITY The blood supply and the Stem Cell Donor Registry have to be representative of the makeup of Canada s population. Andy, donor The treatment of certain hereditary blood disorders and stem cell grafts require that the donor and recipient share a similar genetic makeup. Héma-Québec works closely with cultural communities to raise awareness about blood and stem cell donations. Priscille, recipient 12 % of blood donors are of non-caucasian origin This proportion is 15% in the Québec population. 19

20 RISK AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT: A CONSTANT CONCERN 15 PATHOGENS ARE BEING MONITORED: bacteria, viruses or parasites that can be transmitted through blood PREVENTION: AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF SAFETY SAFETY ADVISORY COMITTEE This comittee encompasses international experts and Canadian Blood Services representative.
