Marilena Vrana: ”Plasma Powers Possibility” Continues to Resonate Far Beyond an Awareness Week
Marilena Vrana, Vice President at the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) Europe, shared on LinkedIn:
”With October now behind us, the IPAW 2025 theme “Plasma Powers Possibility” continues to resonate far beyond an awareness week.
While International Plasma Awareness Week may officially only span the course of a week, its message endures all year long.
Every plasma donation fuels possibility, hope, and opportunity for patients.
Committed, healthy donors are the generous start of a promising future for patients across Europe.
Their generous act of giving allows patients to live healthier, fuller lives.
As patients’ need for plasma-derived medicines continues to grow, we must work together to build resilient systems that support donors and strengthen access for those people whose lives depend on them.
I invite you to read my reflections and share your own on how we can build on the IPAW momentum and continue raising awareness year-round.
