FIDAS ADSP - Associazione Donatori Sangue Piemonte

What FIDAS ADSP - Associazione Donatori Sangue Piemonte does

FIDAS ADSP ODV (Associazione Donatori Sangue Piemonte) is a non-profit voluntary blood donors association founded in 1957 in Turin, Italy, operating as the Piedmont regional branch of the national FIDAS (Federazione Italiana Associazioni Donatori Sangue) federation. The organization coordinates voluntary blood, plasma, and platelet donations across a network of 130 municipal groups organized into 10 zones and 145 collection points throughout the Piedmont region, serving approximately 79,000 registered donors. It partners with the Banca del Sangue delle Molinette di Torino for blood processing, testing, and safety protocols, and operates under the regulatory oversight of Italy's Centro Nazionale Sangue, Ministero della Salute, and Regione Piemonte, including compliance with directives such as DM 02/11/2015 on donor eligibility.

The organization delivers services through a community-led model administered by a small core team of approximately 13 employees supported by an extensive volunteer network. Core offerings include whole blood donation, plasma donation via apheresis (approximately 700ml per 30-45 minute session), and platelet donation via apheresis (60-75 minute procedures for onco-hematological and bone marrow transplant patients). Digital infrastructure includes the PRENOTA online appointment booking system, the Referti Online portal (developed with Informatica Data System S.r.l.) for authenticated access to blood test results, and an interactive collection calendar. The association also operates mobile blood collection units (autoemoteche), runs corporate on-site drives at partners including Martini & Rossi, IVECO, Leonardo, Intesa Sanpaolo, GTT, and Pirelli, and conducts youth engagement through A Scuola di Dono and Fidas Giovani programs.

The business model is that of an Italian voluntary association (ODV - Organizzazione di Volontariato): donation services are provided free of charge, with no revenue generated from the donation act itself. Funding derives primarily from the Italian 5x1000 tax designation program and member contributions. The primary customer segment is individual voluntary donors across Piedmont's municipalities; secondary segments include corporate workplace donor groups and youth/student populations reached through school and university programs. Distribution occurs via fixed collection points, mobile units, corporate drives, and digital self-service channels.

Scale indicators5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian Red Cross): National humanitarian organization that historically supports blood collection activities and donor outreach in Italy, operating with broader mission scope than FIDAS ADSP.
• FIDAS Nazionale (Federazione Italiana Associazioni Donatori Sangue): National federation of which FIDAS ADSP is the Piedmont regional chapter; coordinates national policy, congresses, and youth programs across member associations.

Regional players

• Federazione Italiana delle Associazioni di Donatori di Sangue (FIDAS) - other regional chapters: Sister FIDAS chapters in regions such as Lombardy, Veneto, and Lazio operate under the same national federation but in different Italian regions; comparable operations and donor engagement model.

Others

• Banca del Sangue delle Molinette di Torino: Hospital blood bank at Molinette in Turin that issues safety directives and receives collected units from FIDAS ADSP; functions as the downstream medical partner in the supply chain.
• European Blood Alliance: European-level association of national blood services and regulators; sets cross-border standards and represents member blood services in EU policy discussions relevant to FIDAS ADSP's operating environment.
• Centro Nazionale Sangue (Italian National Blood Centre): National regulatory authority under the Ministry of Health that sets transfusion policy and coordinates blood collection across Italian regions; FIDAS ADSP operates under its guidelines.
• Italian National Transplant Centre (CNT): Public body coordinating organ and tissue donation in Italy; adjacent to blood banking in mission and regulatory oversight, though focused on solid organs and tissues rather than whole blood.

Direct peers

• AVIS Regionale Piemonte: Regional AVIS chapter operating in the same Piedmont territory; competes head-to-head for voluntary donors, municipal groups, and corporate partnerships.
• AVIS (Associazione Volontari Italiani Sangue): Italy's largest voluntary blood donor association with national reach; directly competes with FIDAS ADSP for the same pool of voluntary donors in Piedmont under a parallel federation structure.

Emerging players

• ADISCO (Associazione Donatori Italiani Sangue Cordone Ombelicale): Italian voluntary association focused on umbilical cord blood donation; shares the voluntary donor association model with FIDAS ADSP but specializes in cord blood banking.
