The European Blood Alliance (EBA) is an association of not for profit Blood Establishments, with 28 members (including observers) throughout the European Union, United Kingdom, and EFTA States. Our mission is to contribute to the availability, quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of the blood and tissue supply for all the citizens of Europe by developing and maintaining an efficient and strong collaboration amongst European blood and tissue services. A statutory objective of the European Blood Alliance (EBA) is to increase public and professional awareness of voluntary and non-remunerated donation (VNRD) of blood and blood components, and of preparation of blood components as an indispensable therapeutic means to help patients. EBA strives towards this mission by assisting our members to improve performance through collaboration, to engage in regulatory affairs to promote best practice and to facilitate information collection and knowledge exchange.
