The organization operates on the principles of voluntary, periodic, anonymous, and unpaid donations, prioritizing the health and rights of both donors and recipients. AVIS actively promotes responsible blood usage and public health education through various initiatives. With a network exceeding 3,000 local, provincial, and regional branches, along with a national organization, AVIS ensures widespread accessibility to blood donation services across Italy, particularly in underserved areas.
