José Antonio García Erce: Growing Immunoglobulin Use Challenges of Supply and Sustainability
José Antonio García Erce, Director of the Donation Center, Navarre Health Service (Osasunbidea), shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Increasing consumption of immunoglobulins.
To infinity and beyond?
Although it has been possible to increase in recent years by 40% the shipment of plasma to Grifols for the industrial fractionation of hemoderivados, with a similar growth in production, thanks, among other measures, to the increase of more than 1000% of aféresis in 10 years, and to almost double the plasmaféresis every two years…. It is impossible to be self-sufficient!
With the current model, without a change in the paradigm, if the growth of the consumo is much higher than the supply, coming from donantes unpaid and uncompensated volunteers.

Where is the limit?”
