about PPTA
The Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) is a key player in the plasma industry, with an extensive network of human plasma collection centers and manufacturers. Collaborating with numerous key stakeholders and policymakers to establish rightful standards and programs for donors and patients is at the core of our work.
Why you should donate plasma
Plasma-derived medicines are often the only therapies for many rare and chronic diseases. By becoming a donor, you increase the chances of regular access to plasma medicines for those in need, contributing to the improvement of health outcomes for patients.
