Health Canada: Québec City facility and Laurier Québec Globule Centre pass inspection
Québec, November 14, 2011 — The Héma-Québec facility in Québec City and the Laurier Québec Globule Blood Donor Centre had their licenses renewed following the annual inspection by Health Canada, which took place from October 3 to 7, 2011.
One observation that has no major impact on product safety was made by the inspectors. Corrections have already been made or will be made shortly.
“The fact that Héma-Québec has retained its license shows that it fully complies with the safety measures required by Health Canada and that the staff of the blood product supplier makes work quality a constant priority,” stated Dr. Jean de Serres, President and Chief Executive Officer of Héma-Québec.
