Sustainable operations integration Diversified partnerships Collaboration to improve blood service |
- We have long been participated in the Asia Pacific Blood Network (APBN). Through the exchange, sharing and communication of knowledge and experience with member institutions in the Asia Pacific region, we raise the visibility of Taiwan's blood business in the world, connect with the world and learn new technology and skills. Asia Pacific Blood Network (APBN), established in 2006, currently has membership includes Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Beijing, Macau, Thailand and other countries as its members, as well as TBSF. The mission of APBN is mainly to promote voluntary blood donation in the Asia-Pacific region so that patients can obtain safe, enough, effective, and cost-effective blood and products. The quality of blood is improved among members through regular meetings and communication with APBN, the knowledge exchange, policy cooperation, and practical operation process comparison and improvement.
- To expand the effect of blood donation, we collaborate with large-scale partners in different industries, such as LINE, Facebook (FB) and other international enterprises, as well as well-known animation, celebrity or entertainer, to attract more people's attention to blood donation issues.
- We strengthen the relationship management with blood donation groups (such as clubs, companies, agencies, military units, schools, and temples), thank and praise blood drives, and maintain good interaction.
- The "Hospital online blood ordering" has been constructed, where medical institutions can order blood online, download electronic media exchange files, apply for blood consultation services, file blood transfusion reactions, blood transfusion infection surveys, and inquire the results of blood centers online to protect patient health in cooperation.
- In line with the government's policy, a designated laboratory for COVID-19 was established to assist in building the capacity for domestic testing, carrying out blood product safety surveys, and reporting to the Centers for Disease Control for pandemic prevention monitoring.
- HIV, HBV and other infectious diseases found in blood donation are reported to the Centers for Disease Control according to the law to improve the domestic virus prevention efficiency.
- We continue to exchange views and learn from neighboring blood centers in Asia Pacific (including Singapore Blood Center, and Changsha, Jiangsu, and Guangzhou Blood Centers in China) on blood testing and blood donor recruitment. We have signed a cooperation agreement with Qingdao Blood Center in China to exchange and learn to facilitate cooperation and sustain business partnership.
