A Nigerian student is among the two dead following a plasma donation at Canadian for-profit center.
Glamtush reports that two people including a 22-year-old international student from Nigeria have died after giving blood plasma at a Winnipeg collection centres that pay people for their donations.
The deaths are under review by Health Canada, which confirmed it received two reports of fatal adverse reactions in plasma donors — one in October of last year and another in January 30, 2026.
The federal regulator says it is still assessing these reports and has not made a link between the plasma collection and d£aths, and the company that runs the centre says it has “no reason to believe” they are connected. See More/Details
