title: Changes in the Canadian blood system: the Krever Inquiry, Canadian Blood Services and Héma-Québec. Krever Commission.
abstract: Beginning in 1992, Canada underwent a series of investigations into the national blood program. The Krever Commission issued an interim report in 1993 and a final report in 1997. In all a total of 93 recommendations were made. Subsequently, in 1998, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRC) withdrew from the blood program and two new organizations, the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) and Héma-Québec (HQ) took over as operators.
