Union demands permanent end to for-profit plasma collection

The union representing Canadian Blood Services workers in Ontario is calling for an immediate termination of the blood-plasma collection contract with for-profit Spanish pharmaceutical company Grifols. OPSEU/SEFPO is also demanding an ironclad commitment that blood and plasma services are never again operated on a for-profit basis. Two people died after donating plasma at Grifols-operated facilities in Winnipeg in October 2025 and January 2026, and Health Canada data indicates at least 25 serious adverse reactions have been reported at Grifols clinics since 2018. This week, Health Canada issued a non-compliance rating to Grifols following an inspection of one of its Winnipeg sites, and Grifols announced on August 13 that it is pausing all plasma collection in Canada effective August 14. The union says the pause does not go far enough and wants the contract cancelled immediately, citing non-compliant ratings at Grifols facilities in Ontario, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta for issues including improper donor screening and equipment maintenance.

Grifols Launches FESILTY in the U.S. for Congenital Fibrinogen Deficiency

Grifols launched FESILTY in the United States for treating acute bleeding in pediatric and adult patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiency, excluding dysfibrinogenemia. The highly purified human-derived fibrinogen concentrate provides a precise, targeted treatment for this rare genetic condition where insufficient clotting proteins compromise wound healing. Compared to traditional options like cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma, FESILTY allows for faster, more predictable dosing without needing large-volume infusions or cross-matching. It comes in a complete kit that can be stored at room temperature and reconstituted in approximately three minutes, making it effective for time-sensitive bleeding events. FDA approval was supported by Phase I/III clinical study data confirming safety, pharmacokinetic properties, and hemostatic efficacy, though the product carries risks including potential hypersensitivity and thrombotic events and is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to its components.
