International Plasma Awareness Week #IPAW2025

Alpha-1 Europe Alliance proudly joins the global community to raise awareness about the vital importance of plasma donation. This annual campaign, held from October 6–10, celebrates the generosity of donors and highlights the critical role of plasma-derived therapies (PDMPs) in treating rare, chronic, and life-threatening conditions.

In Europe, we face urgent challenges: plasma shortages, unequal access, and the need for sustainable collection models. That’s why we are calling for increased plasma donations to secure life-saving treatments for more than 300,000 patients across Europe.

Let’s join forces – Support our campaign
