plasma donation
Plasma donation involves collecting the clear, straw-colored part of your blood called plasma, which contains important proteins, antibodies, and nutrients. During donation, blood is drawn from your arm, processed through a machine that separates plasma from other blood components, and then the remaining parts are returned to your body. Plasma is vital for producing medicines for conditions like immune deficiencies, burns, and hemophilia. The process is safe, typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, and can be done regularly because your body replenishes plasma quickly. It helps save lives while providing a valuable resource for medical treatments.
