SUMMARY:Chamber Gives: Blood & Plasma Donation Day
DESCRIPTION:At a time when we as Canadians are focused on greater self-reliance\, there is one area where increasing our resilience is vital - strengthening Canada's plasma supply and making it a national priority. When someone's immune system fails\, doctors turn to a lifesaving medication called immunoglobulins\, made from human plasma - the protein rich\, golden fluid that makes up more than half of our blood. The demand for immunoglobulins in Canada is rising fast - expected to grow by more than 50% over the next five years. But today 70% of the immunoglobulins used by Canadian patients come from outside our borders - mostly made from plasma collected in the United States. We need help to strengthen Canada's plasma supply! While one in two Canadians is eligible to donate plasma \, only one in 76 actually does. Your plasma donation is a quiet act of solidarity - patriotism in practice! It helps hospitals deliver lifesaving care. The need is urgent for patients today\, and for the future of our country's health systems.
