Nagesh Ramesh: 80% of The World’s Population Lives in LMICs But They Collect Less Than 10% of The World’s Plasma
Nagesh Ramesh, President at Life Plasma, shared on LinkedIn:
”80% of the world’s population lives in low and middle income countries (LMICs) but they collect less than 10% of the world’s plasma.
Patients are deprived of life saving medicines and many countries are losing out on opportunities to create a whole new industry and job opportunities due to misinformation and virtue signalling by their governments.
I would like to thank Annals of Blood journal for publishing our paper on steps that LMIC governments can take to improve availability of life-saving plasma medicines.
Special thank you to my co-author David McIntosh for collaborating on this article and Jan Hartmann, for inviting me to write this article.”
