Death or evacuation of the uterus of 1,200 pregnant mothers due to a lack of fibrinogen!
Fibrinogen should be available in all emergency departments in the country, but it has been scarce since 2021
Amin Afshar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Iranian Hemophilia Association, at a press conference:
In 2022, about 1,200 pregnant mothers in the maternity emergency department either died or underwent a hysterectomy because they could not control their bleeding
Fibrinogen should be available in all emergency departments in the country, but it has been scarce since 2021
For pregnant mothers, we need 4,800 vials of fibrinogen annually
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration authorized the emergency import of fibrinogen from India, which was a much worse treatment
These medicines are not even used by India and Pakistan themselves, and patients have suffered bad reactions
The plasma refinery is axed several times a year, but in the end it has no output
The profit of the plasma industry lies in the fact that there is no refinery inside the country
