Reza Shojaei Asks: What if Your Country Could Stop Depending on Imported Plasma Medicines, Permanently?

Reza Shojaei, Chief Operating Officer at Canadian Plasma Resources, shared on LinkedIn:

“What if your country could stop depending on imported plasma medicines, permanently?

For decades, most nations accepted plasma dependency as inevitable. Today, one country has proven that assumption wrong.

Egypt is now one of only a few countries in the world to achieve full national self-sufficiency in essential plasma-derived medicines, including IVIG, albumin, and hemophilia clotting factors. And it didn’t take 50 years to execute once the strategy was right; it took just five.

This transformation was not accidental. It was built through:

  • Presidential-level political commitment
  • A first-of-its-kind public–private joint venture
  • FDA-aligned regulation
  • Compensated, medically monitored donors
  • And full vein-to-vial industrial integration

In this edition of Blood and Plasma Pulse, we unpack Egypt’s 50-year journey from early failed fractionation attempts to becoming Africa’s first plasma manufacturing hub, and what policymakers, regulators, and health system leaders around the world can learn from it, right now.

If your country is facing:

  • IVIG shortages
  • Rising plasma medicine costs
  • Import dependency
  • Or national biologics insecurity

This is not a story you can afford to ignore.”
