The blood in our bodies, just like any other major part of our health system, can be affected by diseases and disorders. Hematologists study blood and the conditions that affect it to better understand how to keep it healthy. Research into the nature of blood has allowed blood, platelet, and plasma transfusions to become a common part of the treatment process for ill and injured patients.

PPTA advocates for rational regulatory policy through active dialogue with regulatory authorities throughout the world. PPTA supports regulatory policies that help ensure the safety and quality of plasma protein therapies.
