The Krever Commission also “warned” against relying on imports.
As I say in the article, you can’t have it both ways: You can either pay donors or rely on imports from countries that pay donors.
No country has figured out a third option

Thanks for sharing!
I’m a weekly (free) plasma donor (missed last weekend for a liver conference).
A few weeks ago, a plasma product recipient came and chatted with donors. Woa that was moving. A powerful reminder for why we donate.

Hey, Australian folks — do you guys know that Australia doesn’t collect enough plasma and so is reliant on plasma collected in the U.S.?
It’s true. The U.S. supplies more than half of the plasma Australia needs

If you think the point of blood and plasma donation is donor altruism and community solidarity, then you have your moral priorities confused.
The point is to meet the needs of patients
