Héma-Québec is responsible for recruiting and qualifying donors, as well as operating the Public Cord Blood Bank and the Stem Cell Donor Registry for the province of Québec. The registry's services include coordinating all stages involved in supplying safe products to transplant centres, from finding compatible donors to transporting the product for unrelated transplants.
With more than 12,000 cord blood units in its public bank and nearly 60,000 people registered in the Stem Cell Donor Registry who are eligible to donate, Héma-Québec is in an excellent position to meet the needs of transplant centres. Its products and services meet the highest requirements of Health Canada and the international standards of the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) for cord blood banking and the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) for the Registry.
