The family of a 22-year-old woman who died after donating plasma at a Grifols facility in Winnipeg is calling for further investigation and for Health Canada’s probe to be reopened. Both outlets report that Health Canada closed its investigation, stating there is no direct correlation between the woman’s death and the plasma donation. The family disputes that conclusion and says it has identified unanswered questions and concerns that warrant renewed review. A family representative argues that additional investigation is needed to address the circumstances surrounding the death and the links the family believes should be examined more closely. The family describes the request as an effort to obtain “truth” about what happened following the donation. The reports also indicate the case involves questions about whether any connection exists between the donation process and the woman’s subsequent death, even as Health Canada maintains that the evidence does not establish a direct relationship. The next steps requested by the family are tied to federal action to reopen or reassess the investigation.
