Communication

Communiqué

Please note that Héma-Québec’s human tissue team customer service will be closed on the following days during the holiday season:

  • December 25 and 26, 2025
  • January 1 and 2, 2026

We therefore invite you to plan your safety stock accordingly for the period from December 22, 2025, to January 4, 2026. Please plan your needs and place your orders as soon as possible.

Dropshipment

In anticipation of slower operations at our suppliers and longer delivery times for carriers during the holiday season, we ask for your cooperation:

  • Orders placed before December 18 at 2 p.m. will be delivered no later than December 24.
    • With the exception of ADMs, orders must be placed before December 18 at 11 a.m.
  • Orders placed after December 18 at 2 p.m. may only be delivered starting the week of January 5, 2026, when regular distribution resumes.

We would like to remind you that the usual increase in shipping volume during the holiday season may cause delivery delays for our suppliers. In light of this, we assure you that Héma-Québec is doing everything possible to minimize the impact on your activities.

On average, it takes 24 to 72 hours to process an order. The client will be informed of the estimated delivery date after placing the order.

We recommend careful inventory management to avoid any shortages.

There may be products you’re used to working with that are no longer available due to not meeting the minimum quality criteria for Héma-Québec’s product catalog. These criteria were established based on the committee of experts’ recommendations.

Customer service is available to answer your questions and help you find the best options to meet your needs.

Héma-Québec continues to offer all of the products needed to treat Quebecers. Based on market demand and recommendations from the groups of specialists involved in this change, Héma-Québec established recommendations for the health and social services network about what products to add, remove or replace. As a result of its procurement strategy, some products have been replaced with equivalent products for quality assurance.

Héma-Québec’s customer service team is specialized in human tissue products and works to make sure you get the right product at the right time. Our team also communicates with suppliers to handle logistics and, when necessary, importation.

In 2021, Québec’s Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) mandated Héma-Québec to serve as the sole distributor of human tissue to Québec’s health and social services system. This decision was based on a recommendation of Québec’s biovigilance committee.

On December 2, 2024, Héma-Québec took over distribution of all human tissue products to Québec health care institutions.
