Show Notes

New Zealand’s plasma supply is under pressure, with demand for lifesaving plasma-based treatments rising sharply. Duncan Garner speaks with NZ Blood’s Scott Sinclair about the growing reliance on imported American plasma, and the risk that poses if overseas supply tightens. A new plasma-focused centre on Constellation Drive aims to boost donations, but New Zealand still needs thousands more regular donors to reach self-sufficiency.


The message is clear: donate now, because the life you save could be someone you love.
