David Calvet Canut on Europe’s Plasma Dependency
David Calvet Canut, Director TFE at UNIR, shared on LinkedIn:
”Europe’s reliance on imported plasma is a critical issue that demands immediate attention.
The use of plasma in producing vital medical components underscores its importance in healthcare.

This situation also raises ethical concerns, as purely profit-driven approaches may compromise patient safety and well-being.
Addressing this challenge requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates legal, ethical, and scientific considerations.
By enhancing local plasma sourcing and adopting robust governance measures, Europe can strengthen its healthcare resilience and ensure a sustainable supply of essential therapeutics.
Emphasizing donor safety, ethical standards in medicine, and strong governance practices is paramount to safeguarding the region’s health infrastructure.
