How we operate.

The Blood Care Foundation has been providing screened blood in an emergency to its members around the world for over 25 years.

​The service is aimed particularly at areas of the world where there is a shortage of blood available for transfusion and/or where there is a high incidence of transfusion transmitted diseases in the donor pool; HIV, hepatitis B and C, Chagas disease and malaria for example.

The Foundation also provides emergency deliveries of Human Rabies Immunoglobulin and/or rabies vaccine to members who may have been in contact with a rabid animal.

​Membership of the scheme is especially suitable for expatriate communities, business travellers and their spouses, holiday-makers, back-packers and overseas volunteers.
