Deeply human stories
Héma-Québec is more than just the scientific excellence that makes its work possible, the logistical feats required to organize hundreds of blood drives around Québec each year, or its rigorous adherence to strict safety standards for biological products. All of these massive challenges do shape Héma-Québec, yes. But above all, Héma-Québec is the sum total of countless contributions of human generosity. Each and every person who stands side by side with us is helping us to achieve our mission.

Clémentine, stem cell donor
When she found out that her stem cells could save someone’s life, Clémentine didn’t hesitate to donate.
