“Therefore, the commission is legally mandated to ensure proper compliance with the National Blood Service guidelines and standards.

“It will also maintain a system of quality assurance at all levels of service, encourage research in all aspects of blood transfusion services and promote the rational use of blood, blood products and alternatives to blood where appropriate.

“The commission, which takes effect immediately as National Blood Service Commission (NBSC), has communicated that its new name and status more aptly reflects the mandate of ensuring the availability of safe, quality and adequate blood services to all Nigerians.”
