Marilena Vrana on Expanding Plasma Donations in Europe
David McIntosh, Founder and Chair of United Plasma Action, shared a post by PPTA Europe on LinkedIn:
”This post is a beacon of hope for all EU Member States – and other countries throughout the World.
Wherever Voluntary Un-Compensated Donation (VUCD) is failing to deliver what patients need (which is EVERYWHERE!), the well tested and thoroughly proven system of VRCD (Voluntary Reasonably Compensated Donation) stands ready to do the job properly.
All that’s needed is national willpower and determination to make a real difference – on behalf of patients in need.”
Quoting PPTA Europe‘s post:
“In this video, Marilena Vrana, Vice President of Public Affairs and EU Operations, shares why Europe must boost plasma collection, points to countries setting strong examples, and explains how plasmapheresis is key to making it happen.
Many rare disease patients lack reliable access to plasma-derived medicines across Europe and worldwide.
Access to these life-saving therapies starts with collecting sufficient plasma for fractionation; and meeting the growing clinical need requires stronger collaboration from all stakeholders.
Share this video and help spread the word.”
