Great to see Italy's plasma collection going up:
+8% in July, compared to July 2022
+5.8% for 2023 so far, compared to same period in 2022

It reflects Italy's increase in public investment on volunteer unpaid plasma collection

Somebody needs to examine the editorial choices around the blanket coverage given to this issue versus the passing coverage of 100s/1000s drowning in the Med. @rtenews @IrishTimes
