TEDD Visit Blutspendedienst Zürich
Research and development are key drivers of innovation and quality in transfusion medicine. The ZHBSD promotes new diagnostic, therapeutic, and product-specific approaches – practical, patient-oriented, and in collaboration with partners from academia and the medical field.
Founded in 1949, the Blood Transfusion Service, Swiss Red Cross, Zurich began supplying blood to Zurich hospitals from a small facility on Gassnerallee. In the early 1950s the Federal Council charged the Swiss Red Cross with organizing a cost-covering national blood donation service based on voluntary, unpaid donations, a mandate the Foundation has upheld ever since and continuously developed.
Today the Blood Transfusion Service, Swiss Red Cross, Zurich employs about 220 people at sites in Zurich, Schlieren, Winterthur, and Uster and processes around 50,000 donations annually, with strong focus on donor health and patient safety. The orgnisation is now a high‑tech transfusion‑medicine provider, research leader and specialist in rare blood types, and — together with partners in Graubünden, Eastern and Central Switzerland — supplies roughly 40% of the Swiss population.
