This book draws on historic, cultural and scientific details to recount the history of blood transfusion in Europe and the framework in which it has developed over the last forty years.
The standards established in the political and medical science fields have been laid down in treaties, agreements and recommendations that have become reference texts for everyone working in the transfusion sector, tying in perfectly with the values advocated by the Council of Europe, namely the non-commercialisation of human blood, respect for human beings and individual freedom.
The great saga of transfusion recounted in this book demonstrates the spirit of co-operation, solidarity and generosity shown by all European countries.
