Donate plasma in October
...and receive an exclusive plasmapin!
Make your appointmentPlasma Awareness Month
October is all about plasma. Plasma is vital for newborn babies with severe jaundice and for the production of many medications, among other things.
Your plasma can really make a world of difference!
Lucy and Mila have an inmuunstoornis. Most children with an inmuunstoornis are unable to produce sufficient antibodies on their own, which compromises their immune system. The result is persistent infections of the respiratory tract, intestines or skin, for example. Thus, they become sicker more often than others.
Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by your immune system in response to the presence of foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. They play a crucial role in protecting the body from pathogens. Plasma contains antibodies. This is why plasma donations are vital for people with immune disorders.

In October, we are calling on all of our donors to stop by one of our donor centers and donate plasma.
