Abstract :
Plasma-derived Medicinal Products (PDMPs) are categorized as the biological treatments and used to treat rare, chronic, severe and life-threatening conditions, such as primary immunodeficiency syndrome, bleeding disorders (hemophilia A and B), hemolytic diseases, severe infections, burns and liver diseases, as well as other diseases that caused by absence or lack of proper functioning of certain proteins, and lastly result in recessive patient’s quality of life.The first step in the production of PDMPs, is to collect plasma from eligible and healthy donors. This initial stage is complex and is closely monitored by global authorities with high accuracy and sensitivity to ensure the quality and safety of the finished products, as well as the donor's health.The availability and accessibility of manufactured PDMPs strongly depends on the availability of human plasma as its raw material, meaning that sufficient volume of plasma for fractionation is crucial. Therefore, Adopting a suitable national health policy regarding plasma donation, establishing collection centers, and raising public awareness of the importance of plasma donation will improve nation’s culture for adequate supply of PDMPs. in this paper, we decided to provide a brief and complete oversight of the Iranian plasma industry and highlight the significance of covering the market with toll- manufactured products with Iranian plasma.
