Marilena Vrana: Building Momentum for the Future of Plasma-Derived Therapies
Marilena Vrana, Vice President of Public Affairs and EU Operations at Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA), shared a post on LinkedIn:
” ‘Energizing’ is the word that best describes the recently concluded Plasma Protein Forum in Alexandria, Va. Two intense and impactful days focused on strengthening the future of plasma-derived medicines through greater awareness, access and availability. The moving patient and donor stories paint the path forward.
Thank you to all the sponsors, speakers, panelists, and attendees from across the global plasma community for helping to make the event a success.
The sessions emphasized how much this industry has accomplished and yet how much remains to be done to ensure all patients who need lifesaving plasma-derived medicines have access to them.
While in the U.S., I also visited my first U.S. plasma donation center, in Maryland – thank you BioLife Plasma Services. It put the exclamation point on the importance of Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) mission. It was amazing to see generous donors supporting patients around the world, and a dedicated and informed staff who were committed to caring for donors to ensure patient health down the line.
I return to Brussels with plenty of insightful takeaways that will accelerate PPTA Europe’s work on behalf of patients across Europe. Despite rising challenges, our focus is as clear as ever.
Let’s work together to seize the momentum and run with it.”
