Help families like Adam’s make more memories

There are nearly 1,000 patients in Canada like Adam who are waiting for their lifesaving match right now. If you're between the ages of 17 and 35, you could be the rare stem cell match a patient has been waiting for.

Announcing a plan to secure Canada’s plasma supply
Did you know that some lifesaving medications are made from donated plasma? Of these medications, the most widely used are called immunoglobulins. Currently, there is a global shortage of immunoglobulins. Canadian Blood Services is taking action to further secure our country’s supply of these medications, in the shortest time possible. Working with experts, patients, and other stakeholders, we have established a plan to increase plasma collection and enable Canada’s first end-to-end supply chain for immunoglobulins. This means we are working to ensure patients in Canada continue to have access to the lifesaving medications they depend on.
