Antoine Francis: Rethinking the Global Plasma Debate — Prioritizing Patients Over Politics
Antoine Francis, Founder of Global Plasma Supply LTD, has shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The global plasma chain is full of contradictions. Europe legislates altruism under the SoHO Regulation, but without millions of liters of paid U.S. plasma for fractionation, its patients would be left exposed. The “crowding-out” argument? No evidence. Not one death has ever been attributed to compensated plasma programs. On the contrary, where plasma is collected at scale, both paid and voluntary donations thrive side by side.
What does this tell us? That behind the debate, the ethical theatre, and the bipolar dogma, there has only ever been one measure that matters: continuity of care. Patients cannot wait.
This is why we built Global Plasma Supply LTD — not to choose sides in a false argument, but to secure plasma ethically, transparently, and at scale. Because when the medicine reaches the bedside, nobody asks whether it came from Vienna or Texas — they ask whether it arrived in time.
The debate may run circles. The lives do not.
Always think donation.
Always think life.”
