A cooperative society with limited liability formed under Belgian law, the Central Fractionation Unit of the Red Cross (C.A.F.-D.C.F.) specialised in blood plasma fractionation and the preparation of stable plasma derivatives: coagulation factors, immunoglobulins and albumin solutions. Plasma drawn from volunteer and unpaid donors is used as the basis for these plasma derivatives for the Belgian health care services. The use of this blood plasma drawn from donors and the preparation of products intended for patients are the cornerstone of a "human-to-human approach".
