"What I like about plasma donation is that it is an easy way to help others, since almost everyone who is healthy can do it. It does not take a lot to give — just a little of your time." Hear more from plasma donor Monika in the latest addition of The Source Magazine: https://bit.ly/3WMVQ2k

📢 PLASMA IS UNIQUE 📢 Plasma-derived medicines and pharmaceuticals are not the same. Plasma cannot be made in a laboratory and depends solely on donations from healthy individuals. PLUS, it can take up to 12 months for a donation to become a plasma-derived therapy. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/ebR4nhUY
