Canadian Blood Services has signed agreement with a European pharmaceutical company to collect plasma donations
Ontario's unionized nurses are upset that the Canadian Blood Services partnered with a European company for outsourcing blood plasma collections and expressed fears the company might decide to provide payments for blood plasma donations.
The news release added that the union is outraged at the idea that CBS "has signed a deal to undermine our public, voluntary collection centres in Ontario and across the country." CBS operates a plasma collection centre in Sudbury, on Lasalle Boulevard. The Sudbury centre is one of three plasma-only collection centres in Canada at the moment, although it is possible that more will be created.
The announcement from Grifols on June 8 said the company — "a global leader in plasma medicines with more than 110 years contributing to improve the health and well-being of people, today announced it has signed an agreement with Canadian Plasma Resources , a Canadian plasma collector licensed by Health Canada, under which Grifols Group has the right to obtain plasma donated in CPR centers. Grifols Group has the intention to acquire CPR centers by the end of 2025.
