NZBS is also classified a Public Benefit Entity as its primary objective is to support the New Zealand healthcare community through managing the collection, processing and supply of blood, controlled human substances and related services. Safety is the cornerstone of everything NZBS does and this is reflected in the quality of blood, blood products, tissues and services available to patients in New Zealand. NZBS is a high performing and strong organisation with enviable blood and transfusion medicine expertise. Our responsibilities have expanded greatly since our formation and go beyond blood and blood products into tissues and cellular therapies, therapeutic services and organ donation.
