Concerns raised after Regina private plasma clinic violates rules


Listen Later

A CBC investigation revealed two people died after giving plasma at private Winnipeg collection centres. Days later, Health Canada said a centre in Regina broke some of the donation rules. The company under fire is Grifols Plasma Donation Centre. The deaths are raising questions about the safety and ethics of paying people to donate plasma. Health Canada is reviewing the matter and says it has not made a link between plasma collection and the deaths. Grifols says it has "no reason to believe" they are connected. Today, we’re sharing a special episode of This is Manitoba, whose team of journalists dug into the fallout of this news.
