The efficiencies of com-
puterization enables blood of
specified types tobe tran-
sferred between centres to
meet abnormal requirements
or tomeet emergencies. The
Toronto. Blood Transfusion
. Centre keeps frozen ;100 units
of rare blood types and the
- Ottawa. Centre has four
freezers 'with a total capacity
of 1,000 units stored ' with
blood from all groups in-
cluding very rare types. of
problem cases.. This is
Canada's' •national • frozen
reserve and; in emergencies,
. , supplies rare types to other
countries:
The 15 Blood.' Transfusion
Centres not only conduct a
sophisticated batteryof tests
to ensure. the purity of each
unit of blood but they also
greatly assist hospitals by
sub -grouping blood to assist
in cross-matching with the -
individual patient's blood.
They alsoproduce blood
components used for a great
variety of purposes, e.g: in
the .treatment of shock
(serum `albumin) ; protection
against diseases caused by a
virus (Gamma Globulin) ; the
treatment of haemophilia
(cryoprecipitate); and other.
disorders resulting in
spontaneous .'bleeding:
(platelets).
The. National Red Cross
Research Laboratory located
in Toronto, has recently been
expanded and modernized.
and continues to contrili'ute
greatly to the science of blood
component therapy.
From the foregoing it is
safe to say, that Canada has
the most successful com-
puterized ..national blood
collection and .. transfusion
system in the world. Thanks
to the thousands of volunteer
blood .donors 'and generous.
government support, blood.
and blood products • are
provided to all patients in
Canada without charge.
Also, IT a Canadian citizen,
should need blood while in the
United States, ,arrangements
are made to replace it by the
Red Cross at no cost to the.
patient.
The voluntary donation of
blood ensures its high quality.
In countries which rely on
commercial collection
agencies, • where donors are
not as thoroughly screened
and blood is less thoroughly
tested, diseases can be
transmitted to the patient. In
Canada there is no incentive
for donors to be dishonest
about health conditions or
drugs . being' taken which
might be harmful to
recipients.
Canadian donors' are
limited to four donations a
year. There are also weight:
and haemoglobin limitations.
Commercial agencies in the
United States for example
have . no. such : limitations.
Donor protection is always an

, The program is, however,
only as good as donor
recruitment efforts make it
and herein lies the system's
greatest. continuous
challenge.
The b400d program
'requires strong support from
both individuals, industrial
and community' groups.
Clinics held in • industrial
plants, offices,. churches, -
schools, . colleges, univer-
sities, government offices,
service clubs etc. - in short,
where groups of people can be

on management support and
encouragement of em-
ployees.

The main challenge is to
reach and attract the other 90

effort. Too many are willing
to let others carry the burden
of providing for their friends,
