⚡Plasma 101: Why is the clinical need for plasma-derived medicines increasing worldwide? Let's break down some of the factors. 1. Increased precision of medical diagnostics. 2. More people are being identified with rare conditions. 3. Emerging clinical evidence show the benefits of PDMPs. 4. Greater awareness helps early diagnosis of rare conditions. 5. Patients live longer and healthier lives than ever before. 6. Medical research finds new applications for PDMPs To keep up with the growing clinical need for plasma-derived medicines, EU countries should consider adopting best practices from Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Hungary. These countries have shown how the public-private coexistence model can work to boost plasma availability for producing plasma-derived medicines. It’s a proven approach that could really benefit us all! #EUNeedsMorePlasma #TheWorldNeedsMorePlasma

Plasma donation centers often become community hubs where donors form meaningful connections and friendships with fellow donors and staff who support them. These donor communities create a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Nurturing these donor communities is essential, as they are the backbone that sustains the availability of plasma-derived medicines. Have you recently visited a plasma collection centre?

How are plasma availability and accessibility to plasma-derived medicines connected? — >𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Plasma availability refers to the global supply of plasma, which is used as the starting material for making plasma-derived medicines. — >𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Access to plasma-derived medicines refers to how patients can get these critical medicines. Factors influencing access include policies on pricing, procurement, reimbursement, and more. European patients depend on these life-saving medicines being both available and accessible. This connection is only as strong as its weakest link. Any shortcomings in plasma availability or access policies can affect patient care. Addressing these issues lies at the heart of PPTA's mission and its members' commitment to improving patient access to PDMPs. #EUNeedsMorePlasma #CriticalMedicines #AccessToMedicines
