Biotest donates human albumin for earthquake victims in Turkey
In order to help those affected by the natural disaster as effectively as possible, we saw the most effective lever in providing our human albumin - a drug used in the intensive medical care of patients. Typical applications of the drug, which is derived from human blood plasma, are the treatment or prevention of shock after severe injuries, bleeding, operations, and burns.
Thanks to the good relations with our German partner, the Turkish-German Health Foundation (Türk Alman Saglik Vakfi), and the local support of the Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay), the human albumin therapies could be delivered and distributed to emergency hospitals within the most vulnerable areas affected by the devastating earthquake.
