Blood plasma donations for manufacture of medicines to begin after ban lifted
"Donations of blood plasma in England for use in the manufacture of “lifesaving” medicines are to begin after the lifting of a ban lasting more than two decades.
For an initial three months from Wednesday, donations will be taken at 14 centres across the country.
These will be used to make antibody-based medicines, called immunoglobulins, for people with rare immune diseases."
