TGA approves pathway for more plasma donors
30 May 2023 - The Government welcomes the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s approval of a ‘plasma pathway’, allowing a larger pool of donors to give plasma.
In a world-first, the plasma pathway is the initial step to remove questions regarding sexual activity from the plasma donor questionnaire. When implemented, this will enable donation from cohorts who have been excluded from blood and plasma donation based on their sexual activity, including men who have sex with men.
