About Us

The National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) is the government institution charged with the responsibility of regulating, coordinating, and providing safe, adequate and quality blood and blood products for transfusion in a cost-effective manner to all who may require it in Nigeria with an emphasis on voluntary non-remunerated blood donation in order to save lives across the country.

The operations of the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) commenced in 2005 as National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS), by means of a multilateral partnership between the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and the United States Government (USG) through the United States (U.S) President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The legal framework that established the NBTS is the National Health Act (NHAct) of 2014, which in Section Vi, Sub-section 47-53, provides for the creation of NBTS as follows “The Minister shall establish a National Blood Transfusion Service for the Federation.” The National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) bill was signed into law on the 29th of July 2021.
