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.

The war in Ukraine also shocks Biotest AG.

"We are deeply shocked that a war has broken out in the middle of Europe. This war affects people on both sides of the border, where sons and daughters are committed to a war that only brings suffering and pain. War can never be accepted as a means of resolving conflicts," says Dr. Michael Ramroth, CEO of Biotest AG. "We stand behind the Ukrainian people and condemn the invasion of Russian troops into the country.”

500,000 Euros: Biotest makes another donation for blood coagulation drugs Haemoctin® and Haemonine® for young Ukrainian refugees

Biotest has once again donated its Factor VIII and Factor IX preparations to Deutsche Bluthilfe e. V., based in Duisburg, Germany, to ease at least one worry for those affected by congenital blood coagulation disorders and their families. 
Patients with hemophilia A ("bleeding disorder") have a congenital deficiency of clotting factor VIII (factor 8) and are constantly at risk of internal bleeding. They therefore need a coagulation factor drug at regular intervals to compensate for the lack of the vital blood protein.

Biotest produces several human blood plasma derived concentrates for intensive care medicines. These include Pentaglobin, an IgM enriched immunoglobulin, and other intravenously administered solutions, for the treatment of severe bacterial infections, coagulation disorders, and volume- or protein-substitution.
