Global Advisory Panel
on Corporate Governance and Risk Management of Blood Services in Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
To maintain a safe and sufficient blood supply it is important to communicate with the community, existing donors and other stakeholders. GAP has produced some materials* and resources that can be customised for National Society blood programs (ie. branded with RC/RC logos, translated, edited etc). We can also email design files on request.
