There is great diversity in the practice of blood banking and transfusion medicine between countries. We sought to relate this to the variety of health care and blood supply systems in different countries. Questionnaires were completed by respondents from 15 countries selected from among those with higher Human Development Indices. These data were reviewed searching for correlations with blood banking and transfusion medicine practices. Wide varieties of health care and blood supply schemes were documented. There was no apparent relationship between their structure and organization nor their financing arrangements and their proclivity for the implementation of new methods or approaches such as pathogen inactivation and universal leucoreduction. The costs of the operation of the blood supply system as represented by their product fees and the rate of collection of red cells could also not be associated with the factors examined. The diversity of practice evident across developed countries is not explicable solely through their health care and blood supply system structures. Other factors are likely involved but are not easy to define or measure.
