Reza Shojaei: Public–Private Partnerships are Essential to Expanding Plasma Collection Capacity
Reza Shojaei, Chief Operating Officer at Canadian Plasma Resources, shared on LinkedIn:
“This article highlights Canadian Blood Services’ efforts to strengthen Canada’s plasma self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on the U.S. for critical plasma-derived medicines.
