CBS is launching a major Canadian plasma collection strategy to work towards
self-sufficiency and will triple plasma collection over the next few years. We need to take steps to ensure they are successful.
Self-sufficiency needs to be gained through our public blood system so that we are guaranteed access & use.
Héma-Québec has already launched their own provincial plasma strategy called Plasmavie. They have had no trouble retaining regular plasma donors – proving success can come through our voluntary donations system.
