'S, Stanbury, a native of Exeter. Dr. W. Stuart Stanbury, MBE, has been appointed assistant national commissioner and director of the new civilian Blood T•ranfusion Ser- vice of the Canadian Red Cross So- ciety, • it was - announced by Norman C. Urquhart, chairman of the na- tional executive.cornmittee. The ap- pointment becomes effective Jan 1:.. Canadian -born Dr. Stanbury was a professorin the School of Medi- eine, University of Leeds, and was•. seconded to the British Ministry of Health during the war to develop the blood service in Britain. He has recently completed a three-month survey of civilian blood needs in hospitals throughout Canada. The survey which covered 327 hospitals with -a total capacity of 47,- 742, revealed that the vast. majority of Canadian hospitals are without adequatestocks of blood plasma of serum and that most of the hospitals have had difficulty securing ade- quate numbers of blood donors. The facts decided the society's central council to set aside $1,000,000 in 1946"for the establishment of 'a free National Blood Transfusion Service: Through the service the Canadian Red Cross will be -able to provide all Canadian hospitals •;with blood,. plasma and transfusion equipment, free of charge, with the stipulation it must be given free of charge to the patient. 'The lives of thousands of our fighting men were saved during the war by blood donations and we feel 'that this. great service must be re- converted to the benefit of our own fellow -citizens, in peace. No one in Canada should die for lack of proper, blood transfusion facilities or for lack of blood when our service is established, . said Mr, Urquhart. "We are confident that the majority of our wartime blood donors who contributed •so magnificently in war will want to contribute their blood to this new life-giving service," he added. It was pointed out that one of the most important uses of blood transfusion is to save the lives of Rh positive babies who have been poisoned by the anti -bodies derived from an Rh negative mother. A new blood supply replaces the degenerat- ed blood of such. new-born infants. - "We must also provide adequate transfusion therapy for • industrial and road accidents as well as for pre -operative and post operative cases in which transfusion is playing an ever-increasing part," said the new director.
