Health Canada suspends Winnipeg Grifols plasma clinic
Health Canada suspended plasma collection at Grifols’ Taylor Avenue clinic in Winnipeg, citing failures to implement corrective actions and maintain an effective quality management system; the company had already paused collections at its Canadian centres. The suspension follows two donor deaths at Winnipeg clinics, though Health Canada found no link between the deaths and the donation process, and advocates and unions say broader investigations and action against Grifols are needed.
