Plasma Donation Autopsy: No Safety Concerns

0:00Manitoba's chief medical examiner just wrapped up an autopsy on someone who died after donating plasma at a Winnipeg Center. The results line up perfectly with health Canada's recent probe, no red flags or inconsistencies popped up. Health Canada dug into two deaths linked to plasma donations at Griffel sites where they pay folks to give. After reviewing everything, they ruled out any tie between the donation process and those fatalities. Folks in the province have been calling loud for a ban on paid plasma donations worried about donor safety, but officials haven't pulled the trigger on any changes yet. In the second case, investigators went deep and decided no autopsy was needed based on the clear cause of death. With these findings in hand, the pushback on paid plasma keeps simmering, but for now, the process gets a clean bill from the experts.
