Spanish healthcare company Grifols, which operates Canada's only private plasma donation clinics across 17 locations, has voluntarily suspended collections following the deaths of two donors and a government investigation into unsafe practices. The deaths occurred after plasma donations in October 2025 and January 2026 at clinics in Manitoba, and Health Canada has since issued a formal notice of non-compliance against the company, citing deficiencies including inadequate staff training, poor record-keeping, and failure to halt collection when equipment alarms sounded. Grifols denies the deaths were linked to plasma donation, but patient advocates are calling for a fresh inquiry, alleging significant discrepancies between autopsy findings and the health agency's own medical summary of one of the cases.
