About New Zealand Blood Service

New Zealand Blood and Organ Service (NZBS) is dedicated to saving lives.

Every year, tens of thousands of generous people donate their time, blood and plasma to us for free.

In addition to our vein-to-vein service in transfusion we also provide national services in organ transplantation, cellular therapies and tissue banking.

We exist to ensure the efficient delivery of safe blood and tissue products on a time critical basis throughout New Zealand and through the generosity of our donors, we are able to help save lives.

Our shared values are at the heart of our organisation's culture and guide our behaviour each and every day.

These values inspire, motivate us and drive us to provide the very best service to the New Zealand public.
