The Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion (CSBT) is a national non-profit social organization in which institutions, enterprises, and professionals in the field of blood transfusion medicine voluntarily participate. It is supervised, administered, and guided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China.

Founded in October 1988, the mission of CSBT is to unite the majority of transfusion medicine workers, comply with the constitution, laws and regulations of the State, implement the guidelines and policies of the national health work, as well as to protect the health of people. Additionally, CSBT aims to promote voluntary non-remunerated blood donation (VNRBD), and develop the transfusion medicine.

For more than 30 years, experts, scholars, leaders and pioneers from CSBT and local blood transfusion community have shaped the industry and the Society with their knowledge, intelligence and competence. Practitioners and the staff from CSBT’s member institutions have also served the blood donors, patients and the communities with their diligence, dedication and perseverance.

Currently, CSBT has approximately 600 business members. The organization consisted of a secretariat, three internal committees, and 24 working groups (17 working parties and 7 working committees). Since its establishment, CSBT has held 7 national member conferences and 11 national blood transfusion congresses. Additionally, it has also organized 14 Education Course for Leadership of Blood Services (ECLBS), as well as numerous national continuing education projects, training courses, and seminars. CSBT serves as a reference and bridge between the government and the blood transfusion industry by sponsoring research and investigations, implementing industrial regulations with government ministries, and participating in legislative processes. Through various media outlets, CSBT publicizes voluntary blood donation and develops novel platforms for industrial, cultural, and technological advancements. The organization supports its working parties by carrying out extensive academic communication and continuing education activities to effectively promote academic discipline and team member quality. As a leading force in the blood transfusion industry, CSBT is committed to the development and prosperity of blood transfusion industry through enhancing standardized management, strengthening self-improvement, and providing support to all members.

The 7th CSBT Council was established on November 11, 2016. Mr. Zhu Yongming, the president of the 7th CSBT Council, emphasized three important tenets for CSBT members: relying on and serving fellow members, adapting to new situations and roles, and adhering to democratic supervision while seeking self-discipline and self-improvement. He encouraged his fellow colleagues to go forward hand in hand, take on responsibilities in the new era side by side, and advance the blueprint for a healthier China.

The current CSBT council consists of 166 council members (as of May 2024), including 52 standing councilors. The current CSBT supervisory committee comprised 2 supervisors (as of February 2024).
