Canada suffers from the creeping enshittification of healthcare that is privatization.
Blood donation used to be managed by a federal organization. Canada blood services. It’s now been privatized out.
> The deaths occurred at facilities operated by the Spanish healthcare company Grifols. In both cases, the two donors went into “distress” while donating
and
> Grifols said in a statement it had “no reason to believe that there is a correlation between the donors’ passing and plasma donation”
We’ve investigated ourselves and determined that we’ve done nothing wrong…
I’m donating at a Grifols literally as I read this 🫠
Yay lmao
so wtf happened to them to cause their deaths?
A one off occurrence is nothing special but multiple is very strange.
(I’m Canadian and had donated to Grifols before)
This is why healthcare needs to be a SERVICE and not a business.
I almost died donating plasma. It was a terrifying experience and it was the last time I did it. This should be investigated thoroughly. I got lucky, others won’t.
Grifols isn’t known for their top-notch staffing. They are the largest plasma collectors in the world. Over 400 facilities in 110 countries, 300 in North America. 23,800 total employees, but only about 10-12000 in North America. They hire anyone with a pulse, and most of their facilities are in impoverished areas. I’m surprised we dont hear about this more often.
