The Slovenian Institute for Transfusion Medicine (SITM) is a public healthcare institution that supplies blood and blood products, renders diagnostic and therapeutic services within the transfusion and transplantation fields, manages the Registry of bone marrow donors, and supplies blood-derived medicinal products within the scope of its public health service.
The Institutut's primary task is to provide patients with compatible, quality and safe blood and blood products. Speaking symbolically, the areas of our operations span from the donor's vein to the recipient's vein and beyond.
When organising and carrying out blood drives, SITM works in close cooperation with the Slovenian Red Cross and its regional units.
SITM develops the doctrines, monitors their implementation and professionally integrates the blood transfusion services into a national transfusion network.
SITM acts as the National Reference Centre for Transfusion Medicine, exercising control of the quality of procedures and products related to its area of operations and liaises with the relevant international and foreign institutions.
The vision of the SITM is to develop into an active national, regional and European excellence centre in all areas of its activities. Such vision is also supported by EU Directives on blood supply.
