The Blood Care Foundation

The Blood Care Foundation (BCF) originally received a great deal of support from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Ministry of Defence in the UK in the late 1980s and since 1989, works closely with the Swiss Red Cross (SRC).

As the general medical communities in France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and Nigeria did not believe the proposed services of the BCF could work, as it was too difficult to move blood internationally, a Blood Bank was initially set up in the British High Commission in Lagos, in 1989, on a trial basis.

Once medical communities in Nigeria saw the idea of a Blood Bank of properly screened blood becoming a reality, it received overwhelming support, with thousands of expatriates and locals taking membership.
