In 2025 Italy hit a new high in plasma donation, setting a record with nearly 920 tonnes of plasma collected nationwide. It’s the second straight year the country has passed the 900-tonne mark, as the total reached 919.7 tonnes, roughly 11 tonnes more than in 2024. This progress reflects growing engagement from millions of voluntary donors and the efforts of blood collection centers across the national health system.
Despite this milestone, Italy is still working toward full self-sufficiency in plasma-derived products. Plasma is the liquid portion of blood that contains proteins essential for producing life-saving medicines such as immunoglobulins, albumin and clotting factors. These medicines are used to treat a range of conditions including immune deficiencies, bleeding disorders, and other serious health challenges.
