Our mission and strategy

Sanquin is the not-for-profit backbone of the Netherlands' blood supply. Beyond the essential work of collecting, processing, and distributing blood products, we're involved in research, diagnostics, and education.

People rightly expect healthcare that's both affordable and safe, delivered to the highest standard. We support over 100,000 patients annually, enhancing lives through our products, services, technology, and targeted therapies. 

Our core mission?

Together with the donor, we ensure a better life for patients.

The Sanquin Foundation's strategy is built on three strategic pillars:

• A donor community that is healthy, engaged, and loyal.
• Maximum societal impact through our products and services.
• Seamless business operations that support the first two goals.

Every activity at the Sanquin Foundation is measured against these key priorities, all driving towards creating the greatest possible value for society. This could mean offering more tailored solutions for hospitals, spearheading groundbreaking scientific discoveries, or actively contributing to the well-being of our donors.
