National blood centre, 'raise the level of attention after France'

The National Blood Center has invited, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, transfusion facilities to maintain maximum attention, checking temperatures and adapting safety measures to prevent emerging risks. This was stated by Luciana Teofili, director of the National Blood Center (Cns), after the cyber attacks on blood product refrigerators in France.

After these attacks, he notes, it is necessary to "raise the level of attention", underlining how security protocols and emergency plans are active in Italy.
