Simona Carli, the director of the Tuscan regional blood center, applauds the influencer Fedez for his appeal to increase blood donations. However, she emphasizes the importance of consistent donations over sporadic appeals. The article discusses the difference between plasma and blood, with Carli explaining that plasma is the liquid part of blood that is used to create life-saving pharmaceutical products. Francesco da Prato, from the pharmaceutical company Takeda Italia, highlights their role in processing plasma and providing it to different regions as medical treatments. Vincenzo De Angelis, the director of the national blood center, expresses concern about a future donation crisis and the need to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carli mentions the success of targeted projects, such as providing free medical products to Albania, which has increased donations from the Albanian community in Tuscany. Finally, De Angelis emphasizes the importance of meeting the necessary quantities of plasma and blood to ensure the right to transfusions, as guaranteed by the Italian constitution. The article also notes that some regions in Italy have lower donation rates than others.
