International Plasma Awareness Week celebrates everyday people saving lives with each donation

Posted

International Plasma Awareness Week celebrates everyday people saving lives with each donation.

Plasma - the liquid part of the blood carrying antibodies, clotting factors, and proteins through the body – can only be sourced by donations from caring humans. These selfless acts can benefit patients suffering from life-threatening diseases and heal traumatic injuries.

Super donors are caring people who have made over one thousand donations. The process is simple - find an Octapharma location near you and pick a time that works for you. A screener will go over introductory questions with you then lead you to the donation floor. Donations usually take between 30-60 minutes to complete.
